Like a counterfeit, the ink bleeding off of it
And still I try in vain to use it
Like a used car that didn't get me far
Broke down on the 101 while I was tryin' hard to run
Took the hair of the dog and it keeps biting
I'd like to turn away, but I keep fighting
Standin' in the ring, in the ring
Standin' in the ring, in the ring
Hummin' that tune I used to sing
Like a pantomime, I trace your outline
Oh, but nothing's there
All hail the king of thin air
You left a mark on the door each time you were leavin'
My back against the ropes, but I'm still breathing
Standin' in the ring, in the ring
Standin' in the ring, in the ring
Hummin' that tune I used to sing
Standin' in the ring, in the ring
Standin' in the ring, in the ring
Hummin' that tune I used to sing
'Round and 'round and 'round they go, haunting melodies
Tryin' to fill the spaces in these broken memories
'Round and 'round and 'round we go, swinging in the dark
Like a shadowboxer and her jagged counterpart
('Round and 'round and 'round)
Tryin' to fill the spaces in these broken memories
'Round and 'round and 'round we go, swinging in the dark
Like a shadowboxer and her jagged counterpart
