lyrics

Little kids having fits in the dark
Sharing sickness, and funny remarks
And you're swinging around off
insanity's wrecking ball
Squeezing out joy and I have to admit:
I was a kid who was quite often sick.
Wait a minute, a conclusion I might offer
Is don't let your memories choke your throat and stomp you
Once all those hands and words senselessly fought you
Your heart wasn't snuffed, but it certainly had enough laughing at its pain.
All those smiles busting teeth from sealed lips
Happy enough to resort to their fists
And you're swinging around off in
Sanity's wrecking ball
Smashing you're 'know-it-all' logic to bits
Wait a minute, a conclusion I might offer
Don't sell your soul for just 20 square dollars
You're not so down when you're down on the bottom
And don't you forget about all of your nonsense you saved so long ago.

And if you see his face
You will be afraid
And you will love him
Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!

And me, I believe I've finally found a friend
Alone again in a place where ghosts don't like to go.
And if you believe in love that's true
I believe that that weird thing will find you.
