Marillion - Warm Wet Circles Lyrics
(music: marillion lyrics: fish)On promenades where drunks propose to lonely arcade mannequinsWhere ceremonies pause at the jewelers 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 away the warm wet circlesThe warm wet circlesI saw teenage girls like gaudy mothsA classrooms shabby butterfliesFlirt in the glow of stranded telephone boxes;Planning white lace weddings from smeared hearts and token proclamations,Rolled from stolen lipsticks across the razored webs of glassSharing cigarettes with experienceWith her giggling jealous confidantes,She faithfully traces his nameWith quick bitten fingernailsThrough the tears of condensationThatll cry through the nightAs the glancing headlights of the last busKiss adolescence goodbyeIn a warm wet circleLike a mothers kiss on your first broken heart,A warm wet circleLike a bullit hole 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 played her part in a warm wet circleTeenage war bridesIt was a wedding ring,Destined to be found in a cheap hotelLost in a kitchen sink or thrown in a wishing well
