Flickering on, sad to see the season 

Come and gone away 

My black-eyed friends couldn't stay 

I'm afraid 



Now I'm left with a mess 

I'm way too overdressed for casual guests in time 

They've all always got to be leaving 

All the long long times 



Sometimes we fight 

And I don't treat my stomach right 

Every night 

It hurts 

and I don't know what's worse 

the eyes or words. 



Flickering on, sad to see the season

Come and gone away

My black-eyed friends couldn't stay

My black-eyed friends couldn't stay

My black-eyed friends couldn't stay
