goodnight, good luck, i'll see you soon
5:21 PM
goodbye tastes like great grandmother's vinegar and sits like anything eaten after 10 pm
it's the most harsh and cruel phrase God ever granted our delicate vocabularies,
it was the last thing He ever told me.
goodbye tastes like bad words and the soap you used to wash them with
it's a third degree burn
it's a paralyzer
my eyes, they still burn
it's a paralyzer
we say goodbyes around here like every day is the 11th of september
we're dedicating days to be devastated
and we ask why we're so sad.
because he cried goodbye to his brother,
because she cried goodbye to her mother,
and while you cry goodbye to your lover,
he had to write it on a balloon.
because she cried goodbye to her mother,
and while you cry goodbye to your lover,
he had to write it on a balloon.
so goodnight moon
goodnight room
goodnight cow jumping over the moon
goodnight nobody
and the red balloon
goodnight, good luck, i'll see you soon
adieu, adieu, to you, and you.
goodnight, good luck, i'll see you soon
adieu, adieu, to you, and you.
he'll tuck her in
he'll hold her close
he'll kiss her neck
he'll kiss her nose
he'll shut the door
she'll ask him to stay
"so long"
he says
"so long."
and then he will leave,
and then it will be,
"so long"
she says
"so long."
