The twitching impulses to speak your mind    I'll lend you my microscope and maybe you will find it    Is it in that ugly place that's just behind your face    Where you keep my picture still despite the fact    That you had me replaced       Say "Goodbye"    Baby can't you act your age?    You know why    I'm going to give it to you straight    Although I'll never be    Unhappy as you want me to be    Still it's all the rage       I'll probably play along    Left to my own devices    Spare me the drone of your advice    The sins of garter and gin    Confession may delay    You know the measuring pole    The merry boots of clay    I've heard it all before    You'll say it anyway       Say "Goodbye"    Baby can't you act your age?    You know why    I'm going to give it to you straight    Although I'll never be    Unhappy as you want me to be    Still it's all the rage       Alone with your tweezers and your handkerchief    You murder time and truth, love, laughter and belief    So don't try to touch my heart, it's darker than you think    And don't try to read my mind because it's full of disappearing ink       Say "Goodbye"    Baby can't you act your age?    You know why    I'm going to give it to you straight    Although I'll never be    Unhappy as you want me to be    Still it's all the rage       Although I'll never be    Unhappy as you want me to be    Still it's all the rage
