Come one, come all, to the end of the ride, We’ve got souvenirs for the fractured mind. Postcards from places you’ve never been, And mirrors that don’t reflect quite right. Exit through the gift shop, don’t forget to smile! Take a little piece of this, it’ll last a while. Exit through the gift shop, isn’t this bizarre? We’ve got everything you need—except a way back. The map says "You Are Here" in red, But the dot keeps running away. The exit was here a second ago… I swear I walked through this door before…
Lyrics
"Thank you for visiting. Please take a moment to browse our selection of memories. All sales are final." Come one, come all, to the end of the ride, We’ve got souvenirs for the fractured mind. Postcards from places you’ve never been, And mirrors that don’t reflect quite right. A t-shirt says "I WAS HERE", But the ink is starting to disappear. You can take what’s left, but fair beware— Some things don’t leave, even once they’re not there. Oh, you’re still here? Thought you’d be go— [glitches] gone… gone… g— [cuts out briefly] The door was open—but now it’s n— [glitches] not… now it’s not… Exit through the gift shop, don’t forget to smile! Take a little piece of this, it’ll last a while. Exit through the gift shop, isn’t this bizarre? We’ve got everything you need—except for who you are! Step right up, it’s a closing sale, We’re running low on exit signs. Your name tag’s blank, your shadow’s late, But don’t worry—you’re right on time. Lost and found, misplaced intent, We take credit, but not regrets. The map says "You Are Here" in red, But the dot keeps moving every step. "Wait—wait—wait! The exit was here a second ago…" "I swear I walked through this door before…" "What happens if we can’t leave?" Exit through the gift shop, don’t forget to smile! Take a little piece of this, it’ll last a while. Exit through the gift shop, isn’t this bizarre? We’ve got everything you need—except for who you are! "Exit through the gift shop… exit through the… exit… ex— ex— EX—" [glitch, distortion] "This ride has reached its final stop. Please collect your memories… and exit through the gift shop."
