The Long Goodbye - GC5

Another time, a different page, when ignorance was all the rage

I used to count my blessings to know you

It¦ Ї 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¦ іe already pulled the plug

Boys like you don¦ ° wear no crowns and girls like you don¦ ° wear no frowns

They¦ ®e only jesters in someone else¦ Ї 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¦ Јl admit

You and I can meet where the avenues hit the streets

And we¦ Јl settle our score of problems once and for all

I¦ Јl meet you in the park an hour after dark

And I¦ Јl try to talk but you¦ Ѕ 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?
