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
