Name: Circles (live acoustic version)
Duration: P00H04M24S
Description: The studio version of this song appeared on the "Fish Stories" disk. this version is a live version that originally appeared on the "PineappleOrangeBanana" EP. In many ways, I think this one is superior to the studio version as it captures something in the song that's not evident in the studio version.

lyrics

I get up every day to the same old beat;
I get up go to work with the same old heat.
Just once, I'd love to break with this old routine
I'd go to the mountains
or out to the desert

Circles, Circles,
Living life in a circle
Circles, Circles,
Running around in circles

I wonder what its like on an open road
Wandering free, about like a TV hero
We could set our own rules as we take control
Whatever we please
This is what free means

Circles, Circles,
Living life in a circle
Circles, Circles,
Running around in circles

I guess that reality is the only way
Someday we'll have our dreams, but no today
so we'll go on living in the ame old way
like programmed robots
the haves and the have-nots

Circles, Circles,
Living life in a circle
Circles, Circles,
Running around in circles
