The Exorcism

[00:09.29] You were here at seven
[00:12.43] Banging my head against the wall
[00:17.10] To the rhythm of some old hymn
[00:21.22] That I still recall
[00:25.33] When I was 11
[00:28.78] You told me I'm like the silver moon
[00:33.37] And I ran on empty
[00:37.46] Not a day too soon
[00:39.35]
[00:56.99] Well, your tone changed after
[01:00.84] To hunger strikes and hurricanes
[01:05.07] Scarlet summers, growing pains
[01:08.36] I'd follow you all the same
[01:13.45] Oh, I kissed you sickly
[01:16.64] Smoking out sadness in your room
[01:21.36] Was the first time ever I thought of expelling you
[01:27.94] 'Cause I'm gonna stay up, I'm gonna stay afloat
[01:31.81] I'm gonna stay up, I'm gonna stay afloat
[01:35.96] I'm gonna stay up, I'm gonna stay afloat
[01:39.77] I'm gonna stay up
[01:43.72] I'm gonna stay up, I wanna stay afloat
[01:47.89] I'm gonna stay up, I wanna stay afloat
[01:51.75] I'm gonna stay up, I wanna stay afloat
[01:55.82] With or without you
[02:07.94] Stay away, be gone
[02:23.81] Stay away, be gone
[02:33.68] Oh, you wondered briefly
[02:36.99] You left me crying tears of joy
[02:41.59] And for a minute I knew peace
[02:44.59] And it was beautiful and so boring
[02:48.92] I know I'll exorcise you
[02:52.64] And twice each decade from now on
[02:57.48] And though I might sedate you
[03:00.25] You will never be gone
[03:03.84] Oh
[03:07.40] Oh-ooh-oh
[03:11.90] You'll never be gone
[03:15.63] You'll never be, never be
[03:20.09] 'Cause I wanna stay up, I wanna stay afloat
[03:24.45] (I wanna stay up, wanna stay afloat)
[03:28.33] I wanna stay up, I wanna stay afloat
[03:36.02] I'm gonna stay up, I wanna stay afloat
[03:40.02] I'm gonna stay up, I wanna stay afloat
[03:44.20] I'm gonna stay up, I wanna stay afloat
[03:47.88] With or without you
[03:50.06] With or without you now
[03:52.24] Stay away, be gone
[04:00.31] Stay away, be gone
[04:16.26] Stay away, be gone
[04:32.00] Stay away, be gone
[04:36.28]
