From arrival to departure and survival to decay
Remain the same good, oh, hey, how have you beens
And those soft-spoken games
Featuring who and who, and such and such, and so and so
And so the story goes and goes
It's a tale of one among us
A shiny seal, a simple code
To uphold a question cohort and hail the Southern coastal shore
We sort between the buzz while adolescents quest for proper stitches
Now flyers float through town
A rite of passage pass around, around
It all heats up on weekends as they fight to seal the underground
They belittle it till it's young
Till they're riddled with the news that what they thought was real is dumb
Like hand-me-downs for hands held out
All around, around, around about
Loneliness is worse for those who understand and stand to shout
But I am only lonely, only lonely
Only when I'm without you
I may say hello
As the new wave rolls in
Carrying news flash after news flash
I tossed thirteen stones across the lake the other day
Before I recognized the mistake
As if it's dangerous to get to know someone
To get too close to them, their closet may be too full or too fucking false
So I turned around, and I placed my hands inside my pockets
And I thought to myself, oh, man, this is a toss-up
This is a shack, locked up, brought up to behave this way
So I'll burst into solution, and I will shout it out loud
I'll throw around my weight like I am eight feet head above the ground
Until the shadow of a pigless pair of wings impairs my wholesome vision
Till the shadow of a pigless pair of wings impairs my wholesome vision
I may say hello
As the new wave rolls in
Carrying news flash after news flash
