Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everybody here comes from somewhere
That they would just soon forget and disguise
At the summer camp where you volunteered
No one saw your face, no one saw your fear
If that apparition had just appeared
Took you up and away from this base and sheer
Humiliation of your teenage station
Nobody cares
No one remembers
And nobody cares
[Verse 2]
How you cried and you cried
He's alive, he's alive
How you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried
[Verse 3]
If you call out safe then I'll stop right away
If the premise buckles and the ropes start to chafe
The details smart but the story's the same
You don't have to explain
You don't have to explain
Humiliation of your teenage station
[Verse 4]
Yeah, you cried and you cried
He's alive, he's alive
How you cried and you cried and you cried and you
Realized your fantasies
Are dressed up in travesties
Enjoy yourself with no regrets
[Verse 5]
Everybody here comes from somewhere
That they would just as soon forget and disguise
[Verse 6]
Yeah, you cried and you cried
He's alive, he's alive
Yeah, you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried
[Verse 7]
Now there's nothing dark and there's nothing weird
Don't be afraid I will hold you near
From the seance where you first betrayed
An open heart on a darkened stage
A celebration
Of your teenage station
[Verse 8]
It's an experience sweet, delirious
Supernatural, super serious
And experience sweet, delirious
Supernatural, super serious
Wow
