The Goodbye Train Lyrics

give nothing away, no dark confession
she fled from everything she knew, came through alcohol to you

your saw that world, its fucking chances
you know its every crummy room, there are no tickets for the doomed

this side of town you had forgotten
where all the melancholy Janes just reminisce or go insane

and the goodbye train, some of us went on it for a while
the goodbye train came along and took you for a ride
the goodbye train

but you’re not lost of broken yet
you’re not lost or broken yet

this side of town you had forgotten where all the melancholy Joes
along the river that you know

are fading fast, the cheap illusions. maybe a hundred towns ago
they had a hundred kinds of hope

they held out for the big tomorrow always on the outside looking in
the windows of the rich


and the goodbye train, some of us
went on it for a while
the goodbye train came along and took you for a ride
the goodbye train

where are you now? my dark obsession. i walk the streets in dead man’s shoes
through smoke & rain to get to you

your bitterness, your disillusion. you thought you’d die of loneliness
whoever loved you you’d just wreck

you tear your dress, you tear your stockings
you tear up everything we had, both the beautiful and bad

and the goodbye train, some of us
went on it for a while
the goodbye train came along & took you for a ride
the goodbye train


you can’t give in, you can’t give in
not you, not you Sunny Jim...
