Widespread Panic
"Flicker"

Rise, rise, rise, fly above your head
Cups are running over, voices out of breath
Time, time, time, and time's have come again
Part another red-eye sea, talking it to death

Just because you mean it
Doesn't mean we've seen it

Call, call, call me through the night
When we finally answer, will they get it right
Oh, run, run, child, run it up the pole
Hard to say you hate 'em , just doing what they're told

Just because you feel it
Doesn't mean it's real

Now it's clear, the air in here
Is dragging down the shine as it grows thicker
Others say magic's gone away
Look closer maybe you might see the flicker

Talk, talk, talk, wagging of your tongue
Wishing it was over, doesn't make it done
Cry, baby, cry, now smash up all your chair
Just because we're laughing doesn't mean that we don't care

Just because you feel it
Doesn't mean we feel it

Just because you feel it
Doesn't mean we feel it

Now it's clear, the air in here
Is dragging down the shine as it grows thicker
Others say magic's gone away
Look closer maybe you will see the flicker

Olden days had their way
Shine escapes, the shadows moving quicker
Now it's clear, the air in here
Shining in the lights, a thousand flickers

Bye, bye, bye, thought you lost a friend
Maybe found the love you seek, leaving in the end
