( *words with >>> after them also simultaneously
sound out the first word of the next line)

Moving in circles on a straight line>>>*
Lining up our tomorrows as we reach the end of time time

Timing the pulses 'tween beats of a riven heart>>>
Heartening up ourselves for the long haul as rhapsody disembarks

(You could say) hey, hey, hey
Would you stay with me now if you want me to go
(You could say) hey, hey, hey
Would you go if you want me to stay

Staying behind now as our ideals head on their way>>>
Weighing down one another as we lift from the fray>>>
Fraying threads all spread across the bed where doubts all bend and lay>>>
Laying aside all past misguided love rites will you still say:

Hey, hey, hey
Would you stay with me now when you want me to go
(Will you say) hey, hey, hey
Would you go when you want me to stay
(Will I say) hey, hey, hey
Would you stay with me now when I want you to go
(Will I say) hey, hey, hey
Would you go when I want you to stay

(When we could say) wait, wait
We don't really know what we want but we're willing to
Wait, wait
'Til we find, 'til we see the
Way, way
Into the midst of the place where we're knowing the
Way, way
Where we will not have to wait

Waiting for the end here at the beginning>>>
Beginning to understand it all as I know nothing

Sitting in a dry cistern hiding from the searchlight sun
Like the tarot card of the haloed man upside down hung
Suspended in time, slaying divine notions of “the One”

(You could say) hey, hey, hey
Would you go from me now when you want me to go
(You could say) hey, hey, hey
Would you stay with me now when you want me to stay
(I could say) hey, hey, hey
Would you go from me now when I want you to go
(I could say) hey, hey, hey
Would you stay with me now 'cause I want you to stay

(We could) wait, wait
We're starting to know what we want and we're willing to
Wait, wait
As we find, as we see the
Way, way
Into the midst of the place where we're knowing the
Way, way
Where we no longer have to wait...wait...wait...
