Nixons Trampoline Lyrics

Fifteen minutes later
You don't seem so famous
The arms that raised you overhead
Take you to your grave instead

With your wedding ring and your trampoline
Tried to touch the sky
But you couldn't get that high
With your silly songs
Everybody sings along
But don't know what the f*ck you're sayin'

Five miles into stardom
You begin to see
It's really not that hard
Voices chant praising you
Where are you without your tune

With your broken glass
Another passing fad
Wanted to see how far
You could fool them
With the wrong intentions
But the best of friends
You could've been king
If you'd gotten out of bed

And you try, try to be patient
Why, why did you fake it?

Could be this is nothing Could be you've got no pot to piss in
Without a voice, without a sound
See you when you're coming down

With swollen glands
Another passing fad
Wanted to see how far
The envelope would open

With your Vasoline
Everybody sings
Goodbye the savior
Goodbye the king

And you try, try to be patient
Why, why did you fake it?

Hope you're happy in the new world
Is the pain gone?
In the new world
Was is better to burn out
Now that you've faded away?

Why would you, why would you, why would you?
Why did you, why would you fade away?
I wish you, I wish you, I wish you would've tried

Try to be patient
Why, why did you fake it?
Try, try to be patience
Try, try
