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
