I drew a curtain across your face
Put the lid on this case
I'll never look at you the same
This is what I tell myselfEvery day and every night
I rip that curtain down
But nothing there has changed
It's still day oneI put two feet on the ground
And walk to the end of the line
We take what we can get
By way of killing timeI drew a circle around your face
I should have looked some other place
And never looked at it again
This is what I tell myselfEvery day and every night
I try to rub that circle out
But nothing comes away
It's still day oneI put two feet on the ground
And walk to the end of the line
We take what we can get
By way of killing timeWhat can I tell you?
I'm at a dead end
She is a best friend
Says I'm at a loose endYou know where you stand
When it's hand over hand
But there's no beginning
And there is no end to a circle
It's day one, year zeroAnd I'm in love with nothing again
I sit here on the platform
And I nurse my drunken brain
And the train pulls in the station
And the train pulls out againIt's day one
It's day one
It's still day one
