lyrics

Watch the room, here comes the party now
Pull yourself together, pull yourself together
But you came too soon, let’s wait outside for a while

The doom, lingering, lashing out
Like the stormy weather, like the stormy weather
That’s your cue, go back and put on a smile

Run away to the flat circle, flat circle
Run away to the flat circle, flat circle
Run away, it ends the same and that’s your destination

Run away to the flat circle, flat circle
Run away to the flat circle, flat circle
Run away, you’re here to stay and that’s your obligation

Hold your tongue, something under and
Go forget about it, go forget about it
‘Cause you’re still young, excitable and able to sing

What’s sung, just steal the melody
And scream instead of shout it, scream instead of shout it
Are we done? Take all you’re able to bring

Back home, away from this scene that you
Think you’re fitting into, think you’re fitting into
You’re alone and safe from your better days now

Run away to the flat circle, flat circle
Run away to the flat circle, flat circle
Run away, it ends the same and that’s your destination

Run away to the flat circle, flat circle
Run away to the flat circle, flat circle
Run away, you’re here to stay and that’s your obligation
