Lyrics

Distraction

There's spirits circling round my space
Distracting me these days
Nothing loud, not in my face
But in soft, subtle ways
Deflecting me, distracting me
So life's become a haze
Lost in more reflections than
A circus mirror-maze

I'm marking time, reflecting
Lost in my mirror-maze
Which is me and which is not?
Distraction in my plays

Distraction, interaction
Could attraction be the cause?
The spirits circling round my space
Wing on without a pause
Deflecting me, distracting me
So life's become a haze
Lost in more reflections than
A circus mirror-maze

I'm marking time, reflecting
Lost in my mirror-maze
Which is me and which is not?
Distraction in my gaze
Bridge:
Tomorrow I must start again
Get back to my old way
Forget those circling spirits
Distracting me today
Be the girl I've been before
Before distraction came
Write a song or two or more
Try hard to be the same
Same girl that I used to be
Be the girl I want to see
Independence that was me
Same girl that I used to be
Try really, really hard
To be the same

Those spirits circling round my space
Distraction of past days
Nothing loud, not in my face
But in persuasive ways
Deflecting me, distracting me
So life becomes a haze
Went in some direction where
Mere mortals never gaze

No marking time, reflecting
In my spiritual maze
No deflection no distraction
Lost in some mirror-maze
Cos now it's me again, my way
Back to good old days
Yes now it's me again, my way
Back to good old days
Back to
Good old days
Distraction?
No distraction
No, no, no, no
