Lyrics
Everybody here
Comes from somewhere
But they would just as 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 place
And sheer humiliation
Of your teenage station
Nobody cares
No one remembers and nobody cares
Yeah, you cried and you cried
He's alive, he's alive
Ah, you cried and you cried
And you cried and you cried
If you call out safe then I'll stop right away
If the premise buckles
And the ropes start to shake
For the details mark
With the stories the same
You don't have to explain
You don't have to explain
Humiliation
Of your teenage station
Yeah, you cried and you cried
He's alive, he's alive
Ah, you cried and you cried
And you cried
And you realized your fantasies are
Dressed up in travesties
Enjoy yourself with no regrets
Everybody here
Comes from somewhere
If they would just as soon forget
And disguise
Yeah, you cried and you cried
He's alive, he's alive
Yeah, you cried and you cried
And you cried and you cried
(Oh, you cried and you cried)
(Oh you cried and you cried)
Now there's nothing dark and there's nothing weird
Don't be afraid I will hold you near
From the séance where you first betrayed
An open heart on a darkened stage's celebration
Of your teenage station
Zen experience, sweet delirious
Supernatural superserious
Inexperience, sweet delirious
Supernatural superserious
Wow
