lyrics

What happened then was what it was
It was well I dunno what it was
There were odd characters
It was grotesque
And nothing was what you might’ve guessed
Like in a dream that bleeds you dry
Till your bones they start to decalcify

Everybody’s happy
Everybody’s happy
Everybody’s happy now

There was that time and oh what a time
It was well I dunno how you keep time
There were villains
There were saints
They all live in a box of paints
Like a world you only catch in a peek
But you feel in every bubble and squeak

What can I expect
I can't expect nothing
I can't expect nothing no how
What can I hope for
I can't hope for nothing
I can't hope for nothing no way

What I know now is what I know
And what I know I can’t unknow
I’m cleaning house
I’m clearing the decks
I’m replacing the junk with special effects
I’m picking up speed as I move along
As a choir of ghosts sing my swan song
