Lyrics Siouxsie and the Banshees

Siouxsie and the Banshees

Circle

Pretty girl of 16

Has fun and runs crazy

Ruined girl of 16

Now a mother, grows lazy

Next a 16-year old baby

Like mother, grows lazy

And her stomach is churning

Whilst her eyes keep on turning

Round and around

Getting no higher

From the ground

Round and around

Round and around

The circle has an empty sound

Father inflicts discipline

Boy rebels against him

He leaves for the big town

For love and adventure

But the words he first heard

Unlike his instincts, run deeper

Now boy beats his children

If they disobey him

And the cat riddled with worms

Chases his tail round

And around

Round and around

Getting no higher

From the ground

Round and around

Round and around

The circle has an empty sound

The endless full circle

For the next in line

The endless full circle

Take the red line

The green line

The silver or blue

Any line you can think of

Except for the yellow

Take a trip with your family

And see where they go

Give them a free ticket

It's the best thing to do

And if you wind up on the circle line

Hell, it's not from lack of options

Then if you run into the yellow

Well, that's up to you

Round and around

Getting no higher

From the ground

Round and around

The circle has an empty sound

The endless full circle

For the next in line

The endless full circle

Are you the next in line?

Round and around
