Circling the Drain Lyrics

We're dying a slow death

Making love as we take our last breath

But do not resuscitate

Now there's nothing left to do but accept our fate

Oh, you're searching for the words

But expletives cannot explain

Just how we got here, circling the drain

We could talk it through all night

Until we drive ourselves insane

Darling, we've been circling the drain

No medication can save me

From this terminal love you gave me

Still I'm sorry just the same

We're the spitting image of a crying shame

The poison pill and potions filled

With bitterness and pain

Darling, we're now circling the drain

There may be some sleepless nights

And days spent crying in the rain

So much time spent circling the drain

I see vultures in the sky

Eyeing our flesh as they watch us die

Still don't you feel free

Like ashes scattered across the Salton Sea

And I'll survive but I'll miss driving

In the carpool lane

Swerving, speeding, circling the drain

Oh, I'm going to need a friend

But in the end, I can't complain

I'm better off than circling the drain
