The Greatest Show I Never Saw

[Verse 1] It was lifetimes ago, when I came undone That cool Spring night in 91 Stumbling through the crowd and smoke, Stage lights cut sharp as the feedback broke. [Verse 2] Rahlins said “This is gonna hurt” To a thousand souls ready to convert But I was too wired to even care, Lost in the pulse of the electric air. [Chorus] Up the beach, I’m drowning in noise Ocean size, I can’t find my boys The band exploded, but I lost sight The greatest show I never saw that night. [Verse 3] The thousands in a kinetic dance I drifted away as if in a trance The wall at my back, a moment of grace, But the seats were miles across that place. [Verse 4] I hear Jane’s roar but I’m in a dream, Finding refuge in the extreme, A scream, a shout, the flashing lights, Alone in the back, lost in the night. [Chorus] Up the beach, I’m drowning in noise Ocean size, I can’t find my boys The band exploded, but I lost sight The greatest show I never saw that night. [Bridge] My heart felt the pulse The music buried so deep Dreaming through the chaos I want to sleep As I hear the Electric lullabies The stage dissolved Before my eyes [Outro] Up the beach, I’m drowning in noise Ocean size, I can’t find my boys The band exploded, but I lost sight The greatest show I never saw that night. (Up the beach, I’m drowning in noise) The greatest show I never saw that night. (As I hear the Electric lullabies) The greatest show I never saw that night. (Ocean size, I can’t find my boys) The greatest show I never saw that night. (The stage dissolved before my eyes) The greatest show I never saw that night.
