The Good Life - Everybody Artist: The Good Life Album: Everybody's Coming Down
Everybody’s riding the ferris wheel And the pinnacle’s gorgeous Everyobody’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 nine And it’s a quarter to five There’s a lump in their throats ‘Cause they know this is it Still they paste on a smile And hold each other a little closer
Everybody’s saddled with sadness A longing they can’t quit Everybody knows this is transient They’re trying not to notice
This spinning world has left them dizzy and anxious This ephemeral banquet of bliss Left its taste on our lips Must we all wait in line? We’re all bystanders of our own lives, our own woes And it’s killing us
I just want to relive that feeling of overwhelming again And again, and again is all I ask I used to want a future perfect Now all I want is past
Everybody’s looking for closure In a sea of disorder Everybody’s swimming in oblivion Feeling insignificant
