Trampoline

Everybody's crazy for pretending they're not Used to be as kids, but I guess we forgot How many years does it take to unlearn? Life's just a game and it's just your turn I look out the window at my old trampoline Forgotten and rusted like all of my dreams Maybe the best thing that I can do Is begin again and start things anew So I'll beat the drum and scream at the sun, it's trampoline Up, up, up, down Begin again and find a new end, it's trampoline Up, up, up, down, trampoline She led me by the hand to the trampoline My muse walked me through my dizzy drunken dream Young lovers making heat on a summer night Her lily skin burning naked and bright We confessed to each other that we felt the same She pulled me in close and softly breathed my name Wish I could stare again into those eager honest eyes That now in my mind glare at me with despise So I'll beat the drum and scream at the sun, it's trampoline Up, up, up, down Begin again and find a new end, it's trampoline Up, up, up, down, trampoline Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind Wish I could go back and a-just rewind And see the world through a newborn's eyes Strip my consciousness of its filters and its favorite lies I'm tired of being one of the living dead Walking through their doldrums to their icy beds They exchange cold shakes and disposable smiles A mess of unhappiness and denial I just wanna dance in the pouring rain Not care if people call me insane Live and love like I've never been hurt Come home happy, covered in dirt So I'll beat the drum and scream at the sun, it's trampoline Up, up, up, down Begin again and find a new end, it's trampoline Up, up, up, down, trampoline I wanna see your face and not feel a thing I wanna hear your name and not feel its sting I wanna be pure, I wanna be cured of this degenerative disease These dark dreams and these lies that I believe, oh, trampoline
