Carnival (Waiting For Spring)

I saw you at the carnival
At the edge of the world
Waiting for spring
The crowd believing it's forever
And they dance together
While they sing
And pushing down the empty feeling
Of crumbling and peeling
Make a wish
A life with a surprising finish
And though we should have seen this
Easy twist
Now don't forget to give a minute for the sponsor
Well they got a lot to offer
And they cut our checks
And we don't have the means to carry on without them
Allowed to follow us around and
we pay our respects
There is something that I'd like to say to you
A lie will make it farther than the truth
So lets save our breath
I think its time for me to go ahead and join the crowd
And lets enjoy it while we're still around
And we can sleep in death

This is the age when
There's no hope in determining
Who can you call friend?
Too many acquaintances
We can
We can
We can talk about anything now
We can
We can
So lets raise our glass to the past and the rusted color
I see a sunset setting down upon another
Day we made full of other mindless innovations
Another day we're throwing shit against the fences
We hope, and we try
We hope, and we try
We hope

Well there's a god damn part of me that's hoping for the medicine
And there's small chance now that we can make it out, make it out
And all the face painted masqueraders say that they're gonna stay
But here's a hand now darling we can run away, run away
And there's a good shot that all of this stemming from the boredom that we're staving off
And it's a long shot but maybe we can take a break for just a day
And there's a one way ticket to the end of the experiment
Or we can turn back and burn away the memory
And find ourselves back at home
