The Long Goodbye
Bye. Will you hold me dear?
I’m the right side of wrong

Smile. I will set you free
Like I’ve done time before

So tell me, or push me against the wall
It’s never enough to crawl
I’m broken enough to stall
But never enough to change me
Are my words too obscene?
Was the end foreseen, after all?

Just tell me, don’t bluster across the hall
It’s never enough to crawl
I’m broken enough to stall. I know

Oh you could see me spotless, worlds apart
Long before you scouted for weakness, road to strangers
And if you see me soulless, then or now?
Long before you scattered your wishes
Jumping fences
So praise me
Are my words too obscene, Mary Magdalene?
Bury us

So face me, and push me against the wall
It’s never enough to fall
I hold everything you call your own

Oh you could see me spotless, worlds apart
Long before you scouted for weakness, road to strangers
And if you see me soulless, then or now?
Long before you scattered your wishes
Jumping fences

Oh you could see me spotless, worlds apart
Long before you scouted for weakness, road to strangers
And if you see me soulless, then or now?
Long before you scattered your wishes
Jumping fences
