The Long Goodbye

Another time, a different page, when ignorance was all the rage I used to count my blessings to know you It抯 mouths like yours that spread disease Everyone in your sight is weak at the knees Waiting for your true intentions to show through Call in the exterminator this place is full of bugs Rats show their faces later when you抳e already pulled the plug Boys like you don抰 wear no crowns and girls like you don抰 wear no frowns They抮e only jesters in someone else抯 court Discontented but entertained, dangerous but easily contained Looking to someone to hold their fort Nowhere to run nowhere to turn after all your bridges burn Got no shoulders you can cry on and no one you can rely on Apologies the most that you抣l admit You and I can meet where the avenues hit the streets And we抣l settle our score of problems once and for all I抣l meet you in the park an hour after dark And I抣l try to talk but you抎 rather see a brawl When your heroes and villains converge Another picture will emerge Did you ever think that this would end with such a long goodbye?
