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?
