[English]

Everybody here

Comes from somewhere

That they would just as 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 this place

And sheer humiliation

Of your teenage station

Nobody cares

No one remembers and nobody cares

Yeah, you cried and you cried

He's alive, he's alive

Ah, 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 shake

For the details mark

With the stories the same

You don't have to explain

You don't have to explain

Humiliation

Of your teenage station

Yeah, you cried and you cried

He's alive, he's alive

Ah, you cried and you cried

And you cried

And you realized your fantasies are

Dressed up in travesties

Enjoy yourself with no regrets

Everybody here

Comes from somewhere

If they would just as soon forget

And disguise

Yeah, you cried and you cried

He's alive, he's alive

Yeah, you cried and you cried

Ah, you cried

(Oh, you cried and you cried)

(Oh you cried and you cried)

Now there's nothing dark and there's nothing weird

Don't be afraid I will hold you near

From the séance where you first betrayed

An open heart on a darkened stage's celebration

Of your teenage station

Zen experience, sweet delirious

Supernatural superserious

Inexperience, sweet delirious

Supernatural superserious

Wow
