ROUNDER Lyrics

The world seems just a little bit rounder tonight

I slide off to the left; I never slide off to the right

Whenever I try to get in touch with my humanity

It makes me feel small, it doesn't make me feel free

Still I'm spinning around on this insignificant sphere

In the void of space beneath this thin layer of atmosphere

You're wishing you were somewhere, and I'm just wishing you were here

The world seems just a little bit rounder tonight

And a little less flat. How about that. Yeah, what do you think of that

The earth seems a little bit farther away from the center of the universe

Some people say this is a blessing some say that it's a curse

They're rubbing butter on every burn mark, pouring salt into the open wound

I hear echoes of voices from December of 1999 screaming that we were doomed

But they're still spinning around on this insignificant sphere

In the void of space beneath this thin layer of atmosphere

You're wishing you were somewhere, I'm just wishing you were here

The world seems just a little bit rounder tonight

And a little less flat. How about that. Yeah, what do you thing of that

When I started to smoke cigarettes I thought that I was cool

When I started to do drugs I thought my mind could break every law and every rule

When I started to have sex I thought it could set my soul on fire

I didn't understand that all these things were nothing more than trappings of desire

And I'm still spinning around on this insignificant sphere

In the void of space beneath this thin layer of atmosphere

You're wishing you were somewhere, I'm just wishing you were here

The world seems just a little bit rounder tonight

And a little less flat. How about that. Yeah, what do you thing of that

The world seems just a little bit rounder tonight

And the truth is that you can only be successful if you walk around feeling uptight

Most of Newton's laws were eventually blown to pieces, running scared

When a third rate violinist, enlightened us and told us that E equaled MC squared

But still we're stuck here spinning around on this insignificant sphere

In the void of space beneath this thin layer of atmosphere

You're wishing you were somewhere, I'm just wishing you were here

The world seems just a little bit rounder tonight

And a little less flat. How about that. Yeah, what do you thing of that
