[Verse 1]
Sold your soul for a dollar
You don't have to be so cool
Cut your hand for another
You don't have to be so cool
[Bridge 1]
'Cause life is a carnival ride
And if you get off too soon you'll start fading
[Chorus]
Quick to believe that the sun's burning out
That the words are leaving my mouth
I need some relief from the south
Please get some sleep
Take a break
Here and now is the one thing worth checking out
I feel you get real coming down
[Verse 2]
Breathe in dust to feel happy
You don't have to be so cool
No one knows all the half truths
You don't have to be so cool
[Bridge 2]
'Cause night is a comfortable place
And if you keep going dark you might change it
[Chorus]
Quick to believe that the sun's burning out
That the words are leaving my mouth
I need some relief from the south
Please get some sleep
Take a break
Here and now is the one thing worth checking out
I feel you get real coming down
