Centerpole

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
