[Verse 1]

Kick, you know you're still a kid

And your diet's too full of additives

Passed out on a couch with ashes in your mouth

Dreaming that you're hopping a fence

This world must have it out for you

From the shores of Montauk out to Malibu

The trappings of a name you never could escape

These people want to live in the past

Some golden age that they never had

[Chorus]

I thought we lost that Camelot

I thought we lost that Camelot

It's a children's story we forgot

So long ago

[Verse 2]

Kick, it's hard to find a friend

In a place that's so cruel and partisan

But you should go in style to Stockholm for a while

Live outside oblivion's lens

Someday you'll have a fine divorce

And a cemetery plot in Hyannis Port

Next time you close your eyes on a helicopter ride

I hope you see it isn't your fault

I hope you know it isn't your fault

[Chorus]

I thought they shot that Camelot

I thought they shot that Camelot

Whoever shot this movie star B-roll

Said the show must go on

[Verse 3]

Layin' in an office on an old chaise lounge

Listenin' to the doctor drone

No therapeutic feeling once the shock wears off

Answer every question "no"

Hiding in a hamlet with the shades pulled down

Wondering if the story's broke

Tragedy is profit once the word gets out

Tabloids at the country store

[Chorus]

Searching under tables when the bar closed down

Said somebody stole your phone

Now there's no one to talk to but these trust-fund drunks

Should've brought a chaperone

But Kick, I'd love to help you but I just don't count

Friendship makes you paranoid

I don't believe in curses, but I just might now

You never really had a choice

Like all your broken toys

[Bridge]

Kick, you know this life is rich

But pleasure's not the same as happiness

If you don't collide with the traffic in your mind

I think you'll find your way out of this

I hope you find your way out of this
