Everybody - The Good Life

Everybody’s riding the Ferris wheel

And the pentacle’s gorgeous

Everybody’s trying to stay focused

To live in the moment

Once the ride is done, they’re back in line again

But the carnival closes at night

And it’s quarter to five

There’s a lump in their throats

Because they know

This is it, still they paced on a smile

And hold each other a little closer

Everybody saddled the sadness

A longing they can’t quit

Everybody knows it’s a transient

They try not to notice

This spinning world has left them dizzy and ancient

It’s a member banquet abyss

Left it’s taste on our lips

Must we all wait in line?

We’re all bystanders of our own lives

Our own moats and it’s killing us

I just wanna live my feeling

Of overwhelming again

And again is all I ask

I used to want a future perfect

Now all I want is past
