Full Circle

Cap off, kneelin' at the back of the church

Feelin' water on your brow, if it's healin', it hurts

At first a sharpish pain that returns as a thought

That the needle in your skin won't bring you closer to God

And I watch

As your head

Turns full circle

All hopeless with old coffee and a medical text

It's too easy knowin' nothin', blowin' off the rest

And the riddles in the pages leavin' too much to guess

And the worry cracks a fracture from your hip to your chest

As I watch as your head turns full circle

You got lost in your travels and a spiritual book

Mistook beaches for nirvana in the way that they look

And the crooks that run the island are killin' to keep earnin'

They're burnin' seven tons of plastic and it seems to be workin'

Is that the best that I can do?

As I watch as your head turns full circle

You appear even tempered though your looks will deceive

And the sparks are always flyin' 'cause you drink for relief

With the heart of a child and the wit of a fool

It's a wonder why I don't try to build a wall around you

And I watch as your head turns full circle

Yeah, I watch as your head turns full circle

Yeah, I watch as your head turns full circle
