i was there
              when you shone as bright as
              bethlehem from afar.
              i was there
              when you were young and strong
              and perverted,
              and everything that makes a young man a star...
              oh you were a star...
              i was there
              and i swear to god
              and on my mother's grave,
              on everything i have,
              or ever will embrace,
              i was there
              and i saw it with my own two eyes.

              and now it's all around me,
              it's all around me,
              i'm surrounded...
              now it's all around me,
              it's all around me--
              you surround me like a circle...

              i was there...
              c'mon and tell me i wasn't worth
              sticking it out for.
              well, i was there,
              and i know i was worth it,
              'cause if i wasn't worth it,
              that makes me worse off than you are...
              but don't lose sight of me now--
              don't lose sight of me now...

              i was there
              when they dropped the bomb.
              y'know i remember the bomb,
              and i still hear the bomb,
              and i still fight the bomb--
              you know i still fear the bomb,
              you know i still hate the bomb,
              sometimes, i still get the call...

              so don't lose sight of me now,
              you know you're all around me,
              i'm surrounded...
              you surround me like a circle...
