lyrics

You made a mistake, didn’t you?
You made a mistake, the past ain’t a place.
You’ve been reading a chapter with primrose eyes,
Re-reading a chapter with foxglove eyes.
And when they come to know you,
They’ll be meeting a guy who’s not lived a day
Since the day when the days didn’t go his way.
You made a mistake.

You’ve got the bug? You’ve got the bug?
Stay linear. Stay linear.
You’re not a Morlock. She makes you sweat.
Stay linear. Stay linear.
Living in a circle’s a mistake.

So stay linear.

Hurt runs in circles.
Hurt runs in lines,
But at least that kind of hurting will be different every time.
Stay linear. Stay linear. Stay linear.
Lived in a circle, saw the ends meet.
So stay linear.

Your life is a line.

about

Colonel Dax Wrexham, UK
