Goodbye To My City

Hey hello
Do you have the time?
11:30 Ticking backwards in a straight line
Moving all night, packing your things,
Headstart, stare into the mirror as the makeup stings,
In the low light, your face is long
I said, baby, so long.

Hey Hello, Hey Hello

Feel this like you've been deaf and blind before,
More and more, you are.

The light of the morning comes through
The window shade as we cascade,
The truth is poisoned arrows in your skin,
Is this the sin you want to be buried in?
Zigged when you should have zagged
You dragged me down
Now, show me you're real.

Hey hello,
No reception, no sound effects,
No secrets, no regrets.

Hate it, share it, wear it, everywhere,
But dont be surprised when the people stare.

On the run, darling were you the one to make me feel this way, like I wish I could've stayed

And its quiet now, the Broadway bar crowd vacates,
Businesses closed and its cold on my face,
Dividing the lines and watchin the signs
To remind me I shouldn't rewind this time,
And im clutching a cigarette, hitting the rails to get sober believe me its over
We were livin the dream
I was your favorite machine
Look at me leave
Am I alive? Am I dead?  Just fall down on my head
And never wake up again.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye to this city
I loved it to death.
Goodbye, goodbye goodbye to this city and all that ive confessed to the lamplight.
Goodbye, goodbye goodbye to this city
My angel I adore, I can't stay here anymore, I'm off to fight another war, its me against the world.
