Goodbye Lyrics

Goodbye

Wisecracks and hijacks
Wisecracks and hijacks
And contracts to sell
And contracts to sell
Old wine in new bottles
Old wine in new bottles
Times are the same
Times are the same
Diggin’ the ditch quick
Diggin’ the ditch quick
And quick to escape
And quick to escape
The patent is pending
The patent is pending
On flood tides and bones
On flood tides and bones
Goodbye
Goodbye
To all that
To all that
Goodbye
Goodbye
To all that
To all that


Brittle and hollow
Brittle and hollow
And sharp as the hills
And sharp as the hills
It hasn’t rained on us
It hasn’t rained on us
In 25 years
In 25 years
Home fires burning
Home fires burning
The branches of trees
The branches of trees
No train well
No train well
No train has ever stopped here
No train has ever stopped here


Goodbye
Goodbye
To all that
To all that
Goodbye
Goodbye
To all that
To all that


Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up


Short cut to nowhere
Short cut to nowhere
Long haul to desperate
Long haul to desperate
Roots in the cellar
Roots in the cellar
And bombs in the pipes.
And bombs in the pipes.
Don’t call me river
Don’t call me river
I’d rather be nameless
I’d rather be nameless
River don’t choose
River don’t choose
What she carries away
What she carries away


Goodbye
Goodbye
To all that
To all that
Goodbye
Goodbye
To all that
To all that


Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
Wake it up
