Everybody here
comes from somewhere
that they would just soon forget
and disguise.
At the summer camp where you volunteered,
No one saw your face.
No one saw your fear.
If that apparition had just appeared;
took you up and away
from the base and sheer
humiliation
of your teenage station.
But nobody cares,
no one remembers,
and nobody cares.
Yeah you cried and you cried,
“He's alive! he's alive!”
Yeah you cried and cried and you
cried and you cried.
If you call out "safe"
then I'll stop right away.
If the premise buckles
and the ropes start to chafe.
The detail's smart,
but the story's the same.
You don't have to explain,
You don't have to explain.
the humiliation.
of your teenage station.
Realized your fantasies
are dressed up in travesties?
Enjoy yourself with no regrets.
Everybody here
comes from somewhere
That they would just as soon forget
and disguise
