Chain Of Circumstance

So I thought that you knew the question you were asking me to answer

Now I find in your indifference you never bothered with what the words meant

You're pulling, you're headless of the slack that forms behind you

You're forging, you make another link in the chain of circumstance

Your mouth made sounds and words, your lips formed them well

But to discern the content was hard for me to tell

And falling, you fail sometimes to convince me of sincerity

And with that pulling in me I build another link for you to add

Oh my friend, you know I love you, but you make me crazy

Oh my friend, you know I hate it, but you know it can't stay

Oh my friend, you know I love you, but you make me crazy

Now only time together pushes toward my place to answer

This music's purgatory awaits its end, time's special dancer

You're doing just as well as a jewel in the mud

You'll do just a well when your surviving dust ascends into heaven

Chorus
