Black Ferris

Every time I move, I feel like there's people I'm leaving behind
All the other passengers on this crazy carnival ride that we call life
And all their texts I forget to reply
And all their calls they never hit my line
But I still think of them (And I remember the good times)

Sending my voice down from a very distant star
Our messages are getting further and further apart
But can we come back from that?
Can we come back from that?

Can you move away without moving on?
Can you grow old without growing out?
Is there a way to keep the friends
From all the places that we once called home
Near to your heart

Is there a way?
Or do they stray?
Further and further, further away

Black Ferris
The time goes by, the seasons change
Black Ferris
Everything you love will be gone away
And as we hasten to get older we miss the things that make getting older better

A ghost ship sailing through a storm of indecision
I think Goya may have drawn something about this (On his wall)
But the paint is smudged and the TV's loud
There's nothing and nobody left to drown out
The thoughts in the witching hour
When I'm all alone

Every revolution on this melancholy wheel
Sends us forward and sends us further from the rooms
Where we once sat and talked of problems that passed us by
And girls who are gone for now in mind
But forever in memory
(Forever in memory)

Black Ferris
I see your smile, the wrinkles fade
Black Ferris
All alone, afar in another state
And as we meet new friends they always go in a series of whispered painful hugs Goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!

We keep going backwards now
Every day, I'm a little bit older
Mise en place, where's my ticket home from here?
Where's the end when there was never a beginnin?

Mrs. Grundy
I need a patron goddess now

Dean Moriarty
I'm on the road, and I'm not coming back now
(I'm not coming back)

I remember a locker code in North Carolina
I remember exactly how hot to turn the shower in New York
(Too hot, too cold out here)
How long will it be before I can walk alone through that house and not hear voices?
(I can't escape, I just can't wait, I might need a minute)
I forget how late we slept in after all our adventures in the moonlight
I forget faces, names, everything except for the way that it made me feel
The way it made me feel!
How did it feel? How did it feel, I can't remember baby take me home
Country roads

Birds of a feather they stick together
But they don't know how to dress for this weather
No tether, we're not together... anymore
Drifting through space trying to find my planet
Tryna find my species in this desert of cliffs and snow
We both know, that's just the way these things go
Oh endling, sing for me
Give me the words to voice this melancholy
Call me? In Cali? Call me?

Black Ferris
I'll see that smile on another day
Black Ferris
When they're gone, they're not gone away
We can't stop from getting older
But we can fit a bunch of happy memories in
