i was apart of something moving, a groovin' thing
we were the favorites of the people, playing out our gigs

and once our songs were nice attractions for the sunday wives
they were the greatest moments of my worthless life
and i slowed
yeah, i know

hey, hey
i'm happy, i'm really happy
please bring me down

it's now time for something tragic
to blow me away
it's now time for something static
to change me
it's now time for something that might last forever

in this vicinity i cut my finger on the string
it was a vicious song but hey, it was our thing

and on the stage it seemed that all my troubles had fallen out
but in the end it was the singer's mic stand that drove me down
fell to the ground
(and i never got up)

hey, hey
i'm smarter, i'm really smarter
please end this comedy

it's now time for something tragic
to blow me away
it's now time for something static
to save me
it's now time for something that could last forever

these things will never last forever, these things will never change
these things will never last forever, some people never change

it's now time for something tragic
it's now time for something static
it's now time for something tragic
