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 it just appeared
Took you up and away from the space and sheer humiliation
Of your teenage station
Nobody cares, no one remembers
And nobody cares
And you cried and you cried
He's alive, he's alive
How you cried and you 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 shake
The details mark but the story's the same
You don't have to explain, you don't have to explain humiliation
Of your teenage nation
Yeah, you cried and you cried
He's alive, he's alive
How 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
That 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
And you cried and 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 sance where you first betrayed
An open heart on a darkened stage
Celebration of your teenage station
