You chased it for the longest time
The feeling got away
It wasn't what you had in mind
You take it anyway
And now if I want yours and you want mine
We could swap our plates
It wasn't what you had in mind
You face it day to day
Meet me at the Centerpole
We heard you've had some bad news
Take this to forget it all
The evidence surrounds you
Welcome to the Centerpole
It's only fair we warn you
No I don't need no help at all
It might be best we keep you here
You're washing away the stains but they keep coming back brighter
You're wishing away the rain but it keeps coming down around you
And if anything goes in a black hole
Let it go
If anything goes then you won't know when to lie low
If anything goes in the long haul
Who's to say?
Meet me at the Centerpole
We heard you've had some bad news
Take this to forget it all
The emptiness around you
Welcome to the Centerpole
It's only fair we warn you
No I don't need no help at all
It might be best we keep you here
Meet me at the Centerpole
We'll shake away the old blues
Trick is to forget it all
The memories that haunt you
Leave me at the Centerpole
To hell with all the bad news
Now and then promise to call
It might be time to disappear
