Everybody Songtext

von 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
