lyrics: 
A presidential roadblock, an upswing in some stock
A wall street bull in bed with a matador
A figurine, caught in between
A sculptor's pocket and a stagehand's live-stream

A fortune teased, a warning you can't heed
A 1940s timepiece telling you it's time to leave
A woman appears, officially she says she cares
Whispering sweet nothings in your ear

A modern day rendition, of a baroque era composition
A peasant hoping the American dream comes with tuition
An officer's safety net, a blue eye-d law, widespread
A DA's office making sure they stay well fed

A permanent Halloween, fueling this war-machine
If they could, they'd put us all in quarantine
A corner's ruse, playing two sides of the room
While a 24 hour news station plays the 24 hour blues

And oh, honey, when the world goes, lets not go too
Oh, please, Lets stick around, check out something new
Some say it'll be a shame when the shade does come
Well, I don't prefer to dance in the sun

And though a book's pages fall with a clump or two
This world's got a fine bind, made of a solid blue
Some say it'll be a shame when the shade does come
Well, I don't prefer to dance in the sun
I don't prefer to dance in the sun

When The World Goes

Everybody has a story, but you say you have a novel
Everybody is dealt a hand, but you say you have 5 jokers
I know this woman left you
But you say it went down your way
Oh, I swear I saw you selling something
But you say you don't make anybody pay

Everybody has a ticking clock, but you say yours runs slower
Everybody is looking for love, but you say you were the one to hide her
I try to tell you how I'm going through hardship
But you say you've taken on rouge waves
Oh, I tell you how I'm looking for salvation
But you just say you've already been saved

Everybody has told a lie, but you say you've only ever heard the truth
Everybody owes someone, but you say all your debts are behind you
I tell you how I received my scars
But you say you've been deceased, technically 
Oh, I tell you how I'm feeling old
But you just say you've felt old for centuries

Everybody is running in circles, but you say you invented the wheel
Everybody enjoys a sunrise, but you say you're moving away from the east
I tell you how I've hurt someone
But you say you bring only peace
Oh, I tell you how I stay up thinking
But you just say you always got a good night's sleep

Everybody grows tired, but you say you've been up for days
Everybody has an ego, but you say you're living in a nirvana state
I tell you how I feel like screaming out
But you dismiss me in a monotone voice
Oh, I tell you how I feel like I've been thrown into this world
But you just say 'Man,
...you know I came in by choice'
