Super 8 lyrics
by Jill Sobule
[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me home
To the world that never
To the world that never was
[Verse 1]
Cones and Roman candles in the sky
Fourth of July
The dog's crouched in the basement
Dad was still alive
The fading grain of Super 8
Makes everything seem really great
And I look happy as a clam
[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me home
To the world that never
To the world that never
To the world that never was
[Verse 2]
Another birthday party
With the braces on my legs
The rented clown made cotton candy
And animal balloons
It looks like I had lots of friends
They laugh with me into the lens
And, hey, there's Carol Fango
Before she sliced her wrist
[Outro]
He puts his arms around her tenderly
Turning to the camera I can see
The world that never
The world that never
The world never—
