And the different colored doorways you thought would let you in one day

Goodbye to the old bus stop frozen and waiting

You walk across the baseball green

The grass has turned to straw

A flock of birds tries to fly away from where you are

Goodbye goodbye goodbye old friend

I can't make you stay

How the sky turns to fire

Against the telephone wire

Everyday I take a bitter pill

It gets me on my way

For the little aches and pains

The ones I have from day to day

To help me think a little less about the things I miss

Walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty train

With a million other faces I shoot through the city veins

Goodbye goodbye goodbye old friend

You wanted to be free

How the sky turns to fire

Against the telephone wire

Say goodbye to the old building that never tried to know your name

Goodbye goodbye goodbye old friend

You won't be seeing me again

Goodbye to all the window panes shining in the sun

Like diamonds on a winter day

How the sky turns to fire

Against the telephone wire

It burns the last of the day down

And I'm the last one hanging around waiting

On a train track and the train never comes back

And even I'm getting tired of useless desires
