Trampoline Lyrics - The Nixons

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 fuck 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
