She was a ricochet heading back at me She was the full circle nightmare Weaved into the thick of my dreams At night, I toss and I turn And I wake up without you at my side These days There's a million ways a man can love a woman But I can't find one way with you You're the full circle nightmare Making all these bad dreams come true He was a dead lay He was a dumb kid He was a little less than what he likes to What the hell would you do with it at all? His picture's perfect baby But it's hanging crooked there on your wall for show And now you've got to live with every photo you wish you could let go Too bad, the full circle nightmare Never let you have what you had But what's a boy to do with such a whiplash woman? I'll never make it through to you in time, time Oh, it was my last night It was my last chance It was a weary houseparty where I Saw her spinning round in a dance alone A flash of light hit me right in the eyes Then she was gone so quick And the people 'round the punch bowl Made me feel so twisted and sick of you You're the full circle nightmare making all these bad dreams come true But what's a boy to do with such a whiplash woman? I'll never make it through to you in time Time, time, time
