After The Song's Been Sung

from Stretch That Skull Cover and Smile by Cub Country

lyrics

After the song's been sung
The lines on your face become
The only real path you can trace
Past where you've been and who you belong to
Even in the arms of someone new who loves you
You've stood on stages
And charmed all the faces
And had all the fun you could stand
Sometimes they want you
Sometimes they need you
Sometimes you are so gone they look right through you
Oh don't leave unless they carry you
Down from that pedestal on high
Though you've found a new home
You'll still feel alone
Just don't forget your goodbyes
You've been living through the words they offer you
How does it feel to die
Now the pages are turned and the memories are burned
The song only lives for one night
Now you are wrapped up in the ribbon of your life
Heated with fever and driven just to write
Will you just bleed out that ribbon to the sky?
Will the angels translate your cries?
Please don't take us back there
To places we can't stand
The mood's not right in these towns at night
What is this curse on our heads?
What is this curse on our heads?
