Trampoline Lyrics - The Unlikely Candidates

Everybody's crazy for pretending they're not 

Used to be as kids but I guess we forgot 

How many years does it take to unlearn 

Life's just a game and it's just your turn 

I look out the window at my old trampoline 

Forgotten and rusted like all of my dreams 

Maybe the best thing that I can do 

Is begin again and start things anew 

So I'll beat the drum and scream at the sun 

Trampoline up up up down 

Begin again and find a new way 

Trampoline up up up down 

Trampoline 

She led me by the hand to the trampoline 

My muse walked me through my dizzy drunken dream 

Young lovers making heat on a summer night 

Her lily skin burning naked and bright 

We confessed to each other that we felt the same 

She pulled me in close and softly breathed my name 

Wish I could stare again into those eager honest eyes 

That now in my mind glare at me with despise 

So I'll beat the drum and scream at the sun 

Trampoline up up up down 

Begin again and find a new end 

Trampoline up up up down 

Trampoline 

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind 

Wish I could go back and a just rewind 

And see the world through a newborn's eyes 

Strip my consciousness of its filters and its favorite lies 

I was tired of being one of the living dead 

Walking through their doldrums to their icy beds 

They exchange cold shakes and disposable smiles 

A mess of unhappiness and denial 

I just want to dance in the pouring rain 

Not care if people call me insane 

Live and love like I've never been hurt 

Come home happy covered in dirt 

So I'll beat the drum and scream at the sun 

Trampoline up up up down 

Begin again and find a new end 

Trampoline up up up down 

Trampoline 

I want to see your face and not feel a thing 

I want to hear your name and not feel its sting 

I want to be purged I want to be cured of this degenerative disease 

These dark dreams and these lies that I believe 

Oh trampoline
