Encircled

In these days of wild roses

I held a compass in my hand

I had three wishes for a future

That I won't need to understandAnd I've got holly green on blood red

Manhattan Christmas on my arm

My soul ain't worth saving

Feels like I've lost my lucky charmAnd I've been living in the gutter

I've been loaded like a gun

I've been sliding down the mountain

And it feels like kingdom comeAnd I'm always fighting windmills

Have to take it as it comesSee I'm

I'm encircled

I amIf you want me, tell me

'Cause I can't play this game much longer

Feels a lot like oblivion

This feeling just keeps getting strongerAnd I've been living in the gutter

Without American express

Heroes changing horses midstream

I'm detached, I'm second-guessedWon't you please come back and get me

My whole world is in a messSee I'm

I'm encircled

This time I am

I'm encircled

In these days of wild roses

I'm encircled, yeahAnd I've been living in the gutter

I've been loaded like a gun

I've been sliding down the mountain

And it feels like kingdom comeAnd I'm always fighting windmills

Have to take it as it comesSee I'm encircled

This time I am

I'm encircled

I am

In these days of wild roses
