[Verse 1]
Six o'clock, the crickets stop
The sky fills up with light
Was it the rain or a southbound train
That woke me up last night?
It's just this game, makes me insane
I wonder where we're going
Clear a path for earth to pass
I just wish we could stop
[Chorus]
Around in circles
Far from the ground
Waiting to put this thing down
[Verse 2]
Where was I Tuesday night?
Where was I this morning
What this is is not real life
At least it isn't boring
I can't open my mouth to speak
I can't open my eyes
Someone press pause, wrap me in gauze
And turn the lights off
[Chorus]
Around in circles
Far from the ground
Waiting to put this thing down
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Around in circles
Far from the ground
Waiting to put this thing down
[Outro]
Whoa, oh, waiting to put this thing down

That’s actually another one of my favorites, if not my favorite song on the record. I love how the recording turned out. Matt went in and improvised on this Sequential Circuits Prophet synthesizer. He was playing weird little stuff, messing around with the oscillators and whatever. I don’t know too...
