Lyrics
The faceless figure in the water
And the red lights on the stage
The sky as you fall backward
The last words on the stage
I walked along an empty street
That I had never seen before
With a man who looked like
Harry used to, that was all before
He didn't speak much
What he did say
Was what I needed to hear
And I wish that I could thank him
But I don't think he lives here
I've seen enough
I've heard it all
I know too much
I've let it go
The nameless place that you've forgotten
'Til it comes back in a dream
The twisting way the carnival
Is never what it seems
I took the long way
Screw the highway, man
I'm going to the moon
And I don't know the way
But I'll get there pretty soon
I've seen enough
I've heard it all
I know too much
I've let it go
And if you climb to the top
Of the fire escape
And you're wondering
If you're really awake
'Cause you're sure
If you stepped to the edge
And let go
You'd be flying
And you're only a kid
At the top of the slide
Drown to come up for air
Just to know you're alive
And the rustling leaves
Is the sound that you hear
While you're dying
I've seen enough
I've heard it all
I've seen enough
I've heard it all
I know too much
I'm going home
