Goodbye California

I'm pre-meditating crime of a personal kind
 I'm about to go out of my mind
 I'm just about sick to death of taking breath
 And walking this line of mine
 Now, folks that know what's good for them
 Are good at ignoring them
 But I just can't put these thoughts down
 I'm harrowed and abused
 And broken and pursued
 By this notion that follows me around
 My heart is hurting
 My spirit's burdened
 I feel like a liar and a thief
 For taking air
 For being here
 Unwanted
 I look for my final release
 Goodbye, goodbye, California
 Goodbye and I'll be moving on
 I sang you my songs
 I know i'm wrong
 Fare thee well
 And I'll be moving on
 When I'm dead and gone
 My immortal home
 Will hold me in its bosom
 Safe and cold
 No more desires
 Will light their fires
 Or disturb my immaculate calm
 And the birds of the air
 And the beasts of the soil
 And the fishes of the desperate seas
 Will know who I am
 And our substance will expand
 As part of everything
 As part of everything, my God
 As part of everything
 And the clouds will roll
 And the wind will blow
 And the beautiful birds will sing
 Goodbye, goodbye, California
 Goodbye to your waving trees
 To you succulent wind
 And all my friends
 Fare thee well
 Goodbye
 So be it
 Amen
 Amen
