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
