Chain Of Circumstance Lyrics - Ii & Iii - Camper Van Beethoven

So I thought that you knew the question you were asking me to answer 

Now I find in your indifference you never bothered with what the words meant 

You're pulling, you're headless of the slack that forms behind you 

You're forging, you make another link in the chain of circumstance 

Your mouth made sounds and words, your lips formed them well 

But to discern the content was hard for me to tell 

And falling, you fail sometimes to convince me of sincerity 

And with that pulling in me I build another link for you to add 

Oh my friend, you know I love you, but you make me crazy 

Oh my friend, you know I hate it, but you know it can't stay 

Oh my friend, you know I love you, but you make me crazy 

Now only time together pushes toward my place to answer 

This music's purgatory awaits it's end, time's special dancer 

You're doing just as well as a jewel in the mud 

You'll do just a well when your surviving dust ascends into heaven 

Chorus
