The Figurants - Bennington Wave Lyrics

I sensed danger, when he approached our savior
I was sure that one of us was in for a fight
But they just sat there, both exchanging blank stares
Honestly, we were promised deeper insight
"Oh, oh Freedom
I can barely see them!
Their retreat took longer than an Amish parade
Oh, oh Freedom
When you gonna leave him?
Our Generals can wait longer than a Bennington Wave"
Are you finally out of all their money?
Did your bad ideas finally come home to roost?
When I saw you last, your ideas were pretty funny
I can see now why they all call you "Moose"
"Oh, oh bother
You can't recall your father
There were times when you couldn't remember your name
Oh, oh bother
How nice of you to offer
But we have enough in terms of things unexplained"
The world gets wider every time you answer the phone
We'd hoped you'd have learned this by now
Something in the wafers, made them all act braver
The sodium alone gave them the "Ebony Shakes"
As mad as all get-out, they wandered all throughout
Swinging wildly into what darkness awakes
"Oh no, not another! This one looks like your brother
Will he have the wherewithal to keep his mouth shut?
Oh no, not another! Best for you to go undercover
Learn to walk backwards and we'll make you a mutt
You're home early for being a ghost so surly
Everyone around here bet you'd never come home
If there is a "next time" would you kindly remind him
They call it "Over There" because of the dome
Oh oh, barely sorrow, can't you wait until tomorrow?
We had planned to "be" for the rest of our time
Oh oh, barely sorrow, can't you find a pill to swallow?
One that turns the lights on behind your eyes
