Fish - Warm Wet Circles Lyrics
On promenades where drunks propose to lonely arcade mannequinsWhere ceremonies pause at the jewellers shop displayFeigning casual silence in strained romantic interludesTill they commit themselves to the muted journey homeAnd the pool player rests on another cueLast nights hero picking up his duesA honeymoon gambled on a ricochetShes staring at the brochures at the holidaysChalking up a name in your hometownStanding all your mates to another roundLaughing at the world till the barman wipes awayThe warm wet circlesI saw teenage girls like gaudy moths a classrooms shabby butterfliesFlirt in the glow of stranded telephone boxesPlanning white lace weddings from smeared heartsAnd token proclamations, rolled from stolen lipsticksAcross the razored webs of glassSharing cigarettes with experience with her gigglingJealous confidantes, she faithfully traces his nameWith quick bitten fingersThrough the tears of condensation thatll cry through the nightAs the glancing headlights of the last bus kiss adolescence goodbyeIn a warm wet circleLike a mothers kiss on your first broken heart, a warm wet circleLike a bullethole in central park, a warm wet circleAnd Ill always surrender to the warm wet circlesShe nervously undressed in the dancing beams of the fidra lighthouseGiving it all away before its too lateShell let a lovers tongue move in a warm wet circleGiving it all away and showing no shameShell take a mothers kiss on her first broken heartA warm wet circle, shell realise that she plays her part in a warm wet circle
