Big Fat Ring
Music and Lyrics by Ethan Deppe
This big fat ring that I’m running around
Is digging a hole to put me in the ground
It beats me up
And wears me down
That goddamn wheel
Inside my head
Keeps my train of thought
Running in the red
When the rodent runs out
Or his legs are chopped
Makes me think I’ve lost my mind
When the noise has stopped
So I’m going to bed
When the sun comes up
‘Cause I’m hiding from the dark
That’s beating me up
But hiding from the night
When the sky is blue
Only makes the dark come faster
When the light is through
This big fat ring that I’m running around
Is digging a hole to put me in the ground
It beats me up
And wears me down
Locked and loaded
And full of lead
Knocking me down
Shooting me dead
Running along
The thin red line
Ignoring the warnings
Ignoring the sings
Playing this game
And spinning the wheel
Is the thing I do
So I don’t have the time to feel
But turning my back
And ignoring the signs
Is how I missed the things you told me
A hundred times
This big fat ring that I’m running around
Is digging a hole to put me in the ground
It beats me up
And wears me down
That goddamn wheel
Inside my head
Keeps my train of thought
Running in the red
When the rodent runs out
Or his legs are chopped
Makes me think I’ve lost my mind
When the noise has stopped so
Playing this game
And spinning the wheel
Is the thing I do
So I don’t have the time to feel
But turning my back
And ignoring the signs
Is how I missed the things you told me
A hundred times
This big fat ring that I’m running around
Is digging a hole to put me in the ground
It beats me up
And wears me down
This big fat ring
This big fat ring
This big fat ring
