everybody here
comes from somewhere
that 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 base 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
yeah 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 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.

yeah you cried and you cried
he's alive he's alive
yeah you cried and you cried and you
cried and you cried

realized your fantasies
are dressed up in travesties
enjoy yourself with no regrets

everybody here
comes from somewhere
that 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
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.

this
inexperience, sweet, delirious.
supernatural, superserious.
inexperience, sweet, delirious.
supernatural, superserious,
wow.
