My phantom brother came to me
His backlit face was hard to see
I couldn't move, I couldn't scream
You can't un-hear Beethoven's 5th

Competing feelings so disparate and strange
Life's a solitary song
No one to clap or sing along
It sounds so sweet and then it’s gone

Fell in her mind through a trap door
We picked her up off of the floor
When she came to her throat was sore and she spoke

Amusement rides at county fairs
The Tilt-A-Whirl of our despair
Ends suddenly
Where'd it go?
Life's a lonely love affair
Kaleidoscope beyond compare
It vanishes into thin air
So suddenly
