Circulation Lyrics

bad circulation
become impatient
too long, we've waited
for an end, for me

shame on your doctors
oh, how they fooled us
oh, how they lured us
into their trucks, oh

cold cave in winter
ice swings (?)
ashes and cinder
caresed and (?)

done with the highlights
mirror wives and low lives
and reach for my light
when it gets dark

my interpretation...

bad circulation become impatient too long, we've waited for wind and rain

shame on your doctors oh, how they fooled us oh, how they lured us into their traps, so..

cold days in winter ice wings would splinter ashes and cinder collect and fall

done with the highlights meer wives and low lives hands reach for my light when it gets dark

I think he is saying: shame on your daughters

Nah, I hear "mere wives and lovelives."

Makes sense, because Bradford said he's never been on a date and has kinda given up on it =\

He's disenchanted by his medical problems and the false hopes of the world, but the second half of the song shows the bittersweet beauty in what still remains.

Maybe.

the correct lyric is:

"Midwives and low lifes."

I'm not sure if right, but I like to think he says "Done with the high-life, midwives, and low lives."

I'd like to believe that's correct because it's pretty damn clever.
