Round And Around

Round and around the same old circle
Time and again the same damn pattern
'Til you say that’s enough of old habits
You draw the line, step behind it and smile
And you say
Who’s been on minding the store
While I’ve been out walking?
Who’s been behind both these eyes?
Whose voice has been talking?
What kind of face do I see in the mirror every time?
You relied on your books, couldn’t find the answer
So you turn to your booze, your mother, your lover
You blamed it all on the moon and bad weather
And you learn none too soon to look inside
And you said
Who’s been on minding the store
While I’ve been out walking?
Who’s been behind both these eyes?
Whose voice has been talking?
What kind of face do I see in the mirror every time?
It drives you crazy to think that maybe
You’re no wiser than all your years
It’s only human to think that you can
Keep on avoiding your darkest fears
Round and around the same old circle
Time and again the same damn pattern
You analyze, you start to cry and then forgive it
You wonder why it has taken you years
And you say
Who’s been on minding the store
While I’ve been out walking?
Who’s been behind both these eyes?
Whose voice has been talking?
What kind of face do I see in the mirror every time?
What kind of face do I see in the mirror?
