So the chemistry's set
And I'm not the saddest cheerleader to forget the American word
For the gang in the head, dwindles 'til no members when
The mystery's met, the sky looks threatened
Heading home in the dust, singing 'Life Is Forgettin'
Good enough for the frivolous

There's one thing I remember is this tear on your bare shoulder
this little silver boulder, this slowly falling star
We're rolling, so what?
Never getting older where the moon shocked curtains part
The start of enough, a tear dropped in a vaccination scar

I'll tell you if I'm able, that is, I'll tell you like it is
He went down like a bad card table, like
The Tacoma narrows bridge, like the Tacoma narrows bridge

Swimming on a bit, stop, you're treading water
As the sun assimilated the words
For lighthouse fire burning down to ember's end
The mystery met sky just reddened, heading home under dusk
Is life just forgettin' another word for frivolous?

Little silver boulder of silence from Mars
For the heart of enough
Or a teardrop in a vaccination scar
Wherever you are, scar
