2.	Wall Street 06:50	lyrics	buy track
In the city if you're depressed You'll be happier if you invest Where the lights are bright and the people strange Kickin' it at the New York Stock Exchange Get off downtown at the place of places People with hats and black briefcases Play it cool and you'll be seen On the cover of Fortune Magazine The economy is in your hands Mind your supply and your demand Forget those nights on Broadway with your girl And hit up the financial capital of the world Talkin' 'bout Wall Street, put on your shirt and tie Wall Street, buildings reaching to the sky Wall Street, you wanna go lay down your cash Wall Street, just don't let the market crash

One look at you is enough to make any man freeze I'm a deer in your headlights, babe, just tryin' to put my mind at ease Most ladies make it easy if you know what I mean But the effect you have on me is something unforeseen I've misplaced my matchbox and my lighter's out of order I wanna take you higher, babe, but the fuse is getting shorter My temperature is sinking but I'll still roll the dice I can't help it, babe, you look me in the eyes and I turn to ice Wanna feel the groove but I can't make a move, I'm ice Love can't unfold 'cause I'm so damn cold, I'm ice Now I'm frozen 'cause it's you I've chosen And my chances are lost unless I can defrost I like to play it cool but you take it to another level If you're an angel, babe, Imma need a little help from the devil Now if you touch me, you know that I might shatter When I'm with, you know it doesn't matter I've misplaced my matchbox and my lighter's out of order I wanna take you higher, babe, but the fuse is getting shorter My temperature is sinking but I'll still roll the dice I can't help it, babe, you look me in the eyes and I turn to ice Wanna feel the groove but I can't make a move, I'm ice Love can't unfold 'cause I'm so damn cold, I'm ice Now I'm frozen 'cause it's you I've chosen And my chances are lost unless I can defrost No inhibitions, it's not fear My mind is blank but I'm crystal-clear I wanna be with you for what it merits Don't know what it is but I'm twenty-four carat ice No inhibitions, it's not fear My mind is blank but I'm crystal-clear I wanna be with you for what it merits Don't know what it is but I'm twenty-four carat ice Just want to feel the groove, ice But I can't make a move, ice And our love can't unfold, ice Just want to feel the groove, ice And our love can't unfold, ice 'Cause I'm so cold, ice

My mind is spinning, rolling like a forty-five There's no beginning, and the end's yet to arrive I get distracted, my memory's erased It's counteracted and my logic gets outpaced Every time I think that I have found a solution You sweep me away aboard another revolution I could act surprised but I know what's in store You're on the other side of my revolving door I'm not much on gamblin', don't wanna play roulette You say it's not your problem, you're just playin' hard-to-get Those other fantasies may cycle through my mind I can't clear my consciousness, they all get intertwined Enter to the right, you'd better exit to the left Before you come and go I wish you'd let me catch my breath I could act surprised but I know what's in store You're on the other side of my revolving door
5.	Fish 06:55	lyrics	buy track
I'm walkin' I got the ocean by my side May be shockin', but it's the only thing That can keep me satisfied I should be swimmin' under the waves with you Surrounded by the sound Instead I'm skimmin' rocks and wishin' I were a thousand fathoms down If you got the notion, get down in the ocean It's all I can see Don't mind the commotion, 'cause water's the potion And that's all right with me A city between the sand and the air Abounds with traffic everywhere It's a pity, when you're standing on the shore Sky meets the sea and there ain't much more But your life will be pacific, I can guarantee Let your underwater days flow by temperately I know I may never get my wish But you've got a shot, I hope you know what you've got Mr. Fish If you got the notion, get down in the ocean It's all I can see Don't mind the commotion, 'cause water's the potion And that's all right with me

7.	This Is What Happens 06:08	lyrics	buy track
Every time you talk to me my spirit can't help but take flight You wonder why it goes this way, just what you do so right What you see are April showers but I can hear a little thunder Just because your spell is outta sight doesn't mean I won't fall under You show me a brighter day where the sun defines the tops of the trees You show me a better way, and when you do it you'll see This is what happens This is what happens Your sweetness it alluring, my reaction should give you a clue When we transcend cordiality, what am I supposed to do 'Cause every time you talk to me my spirit can't help but take flight You wonder why it goes this way, just what you do so right It's beyond material, wish my cupidity would cut me some slack Your eyes are ethereal, your voice an aphrodisiac This is what happens when you enchant me with your charm within This is what happens when you play the game of love and win This is what happens
8.	Damn 07:23	lyrics	buy track
You are magnetic, I can't resist And your satisfaction is high on my list I'm understanding your subtle clues Your caress I'd be crazy not to pursue I'm spellbound There's no one else around My poetry is ineffectual Our love is more than intellectual I'm saturated, just wring me out It's your body that I wanna know all about I want you to be wherever I am Damn I know that ecstasy's a word a way But it's this attraction that I just can't convey With words my lovin' I cannot prove So instead I'll just rock your world with this groove It's electric We're concentric The everlasting night has just begun The experience is just second to none I'm overthinking your wordless gaze I could narrow it down to just a single phrase It's mysterious but I know it's not a sham Damn
9.	Drop It 08:06	lyrics	buy track
Break down, follow every passing rapture Everywhere, all the time When you light the fuse and rev up the groove You can't stop on a dime Get on the floor, don't matter what for Find out what's in store underneath the stars It's outta sight, this groove is alight So treasure the night, it's yours Drop it Just oblivion outside the dance floor You can't stop it, when you hear the music playin' Bright lights, dancin' feet Don't stop, just take it to the street like this Cast out all your fears and inhibitions Clean your slate, clear your mind It's not hard to read into the music Every word's underlined So get on the floor, don't matter what for Find out what's in store underneath the stars It's outta sight, this groove is alight So treasure the night, it's yours Drop it Just oblivion outside the dance floor You can't stop it, when you hear the music playin' Bright lights, dancin' feet Don't stop, just take it to the street like this

about

Circular Reasoning Seattle, Washington

Circular Reasoning is an unconventional retrofitting of R&B and funk from the fertile grounds of the Seattle music scene, overlaying psychedelic, jazzy abstractions over old-school stone grooves. Materialized in the U-District by arranger/keyboardist Mikko Nynäs, CR has been romping around the Seattle area since 2011, spewing novel sounds and unorthodox lyricism. ... more
