Circles of Mania lyrics

by

Leonard Cohen


"Next on stage, children, here's Joey"

Nero's long hot tongue
Nero's long hot tongue licks

This is the sound of the world turning round
The underground
This is the sound of the world turning round
Of the world spinning round

You get eaten alive by the perfect lover
You get eaten alive by the perfect lover
You get eaten alive by the perfect lover

I fell into a burning ring
A burning ring of knives
And the knives slide in
They slide deep into my skin
And they open me so wide
That you stick your head inside
You stick your head inside

You get sewn inside alive
You get eaten alive
You get eaten alive
You get eaten alive
You get eaten alive by the perfect lover
You get eaten alive by the perfect lover
You get eaten alive
When you've swallowed one you just swallow another
When you've swallowed one you just swallow another

To drive away this hunger
You stay in there forever

Caught in the centre of a
Circle of mania
Chemical angel enters arena

Toro d'Or falls to the floor
Falls to the floor
Falls to the floor
And he's f*cking the floor, f*cking the ground
f*cking the ground
f*cking the ground

The hole in the ground
The hole in the ground

f*cking... f*cking... oh God

And hot wires sing deep in my skin
I'm writhing, perspiring like Dutch Schultz at 106 degrees
(Like Dutch Schultz at 106 degrees)
And I wake up licking
I wake up licking the bedsheets clean
Licking and sucking and sucking
And licking and sucking
