Chain Of Circumstance lyrics

Artist  : Camper Van Beethoven 
Song : Chain Of Circumstance
 
So I thought that you knew the question you were
asking me to answer 
Now I find in your indifference you never
bothered with what the words meant 
You're pulling, you're headless of the slack that
forms behind you 
You're forging, you make another link in the
chain of circumstance 
 
Your mouth made sounds and words, your lips
formed them well 
But to discern the content was hard for me to
tell 
And falling, you fail sometimes to convince me of
sincerity 
And with that pulling in me I build another link
for you to add  
 
Oh my friend, you know I love you, but you make
me crazy 
Oh my friend, you know I hate it, but you know it
can't stay 
Oh my friend, you know I love you, but you make
me crazy 
 
Now only time together pushes toward my place to
answer 
This music's purgatory awaits its end, time's
special dancer 
You're doing just as well as a jewel in the mud 
You'll do just a well when your surviving dust
ascends into heaven  
Chorus
