Sweet Stripe! from Ferried Away by Stay Inside

Your ghost is my home.
I’m leaving a trail.
Tunneled codex
to your old haunts.
Saw a complex
of apartments
in the spin lights
from a sweetgreen.
Was this glasslands?
Are you dancing in clouds?

You're the moonlight, you're an apparition,
you only happen in the dark.
So, I bloomed for you in some karaoke bar.
You said you're not afraid to put your last name down on your credit card.

I can't stand this song and dance anymore.
Your costume’s on the floor, oh won’t I stay a while.
You had scream queen dreams, but I ain’t seen you in years now.
The sunlight hits the floor, and then I say goodbye.

Now, it’s halloween, and the air’s electric.
I see you buzzing down the halls.
I cut holes for you
in your sterile bedsheet gown.
We’re back haunting Bedford, the memories echo off the walls now.

I can't stand this song and dance anymore.
Your costume’s on the floor, oh won’t I stay a while.
You had scream queen dreams, but i ain’t seen you in years now.
The sunlight hits the floor, and then I say goodbye.

Boat down to Coney Island,
bringing you the news.
Shore up at Funny Face,
I hope he’s good to you.
A never ending carnival,
you’re out of things to do
Cyclone’s in overdrive,
you’re over it…
