I'm the width that has no breadth

And I'm the man who cheated death

I'm the one-dimensional chess

I'm the no that always means yes

​

I'm the gift that's always giving

In the land of the living

I am the sound that nobody hears

​

All these circles

All these circles

​

I'm the fast car in the slow lane

I'm the pilot of the crashing plane

I'm the viking in Valhalla

I'm the man on the corner with the umbrella

​

I'm the king who lives like a pauper

I'm the son who marries your daughter

I am the sleep that slips into death

​

All these circles

All these circles

​

I'm the ship that never sinks

I'm the thirst that never drinks

​

I'm the scream that makes you shudder

As the storm breaks the rudder

I am the pain that no-one can bear

​

All these circles

All these circles

All these circles

All these circles

All these circles

All these circles

​
