Circle of Palms
(C. Wilson)

Kealoha's walkin' in a circle of palms
inside his yoke to carry
it's just Kealoha in that adventure sphere
with a destiny to hurry
he says, "I'm floodin' this block...
I've got to unlock...I'm a square situated in a circle of talk
but you know...no I'm not late...no never soon
open up that door...air out the room"

who's got the nerve to make the check
who really plays with a...
who's got the nerve to make the check
who really plays with a full deck

for one to think about it
there's two to forget
and the many more without it
may we regret
and this circle was drawn
enclosing us within
in a circle of palms
where the circle...begins

Kealoha's walkin'
the plank descends
roll over the fires where the fringes depend
on misfit sublime who lost too much time
in the rat race haven

oh well...that's misery
my company
confusing the question
who is my friend
all in a time
the matters of time
fly a fake or ride a pony
right to the end

who's got the nerve to make the check
who really plays with a...
who's got the nerve to make the check
who really plays with a full deck

for one to think about it
there's two to forget
and the many more without it
may we regret
and this circle was drawn
enclosing us within
in a circle of palms
we're the circle

for one to think about it
there's two to forget
and the many more without it
may we regret
and this circle was drawn
enclosing us within
in a circle of palms
we are the circle
begin
