All the girls at the shortstop running away from me
they leave me alone
and i ain’t got nothing better to do on the weekend
i’m sitting at home
and your lofty eyes won’t ever turn back time
i wanna get back to those seconds
i’m never second guessing when i’m staring at you
you can pour the salt on my wounds
and i’ll lay down slow
caught up and out down in the afterglow
i swear your colours fade
looks like you’ve seen a ghost in the funhouse
come on and carry me down from this merry go round
and round till i’m sick of the sounds of this carnival ground
i’m learning to get out of town
Soliciting by the storefront ship me away from these
suburban charades
and send me off down the frightening chamber of nightmares
its a sweet serenade
out on coney island screams all through my silence
it’ll get so terrifying
won’t be no reconciling if i’m staying with you
take a minute of your time back tuesday
cause i been waiting just to hear what you say
we can fake it till me make it our way
and i don’t recall anything at all
