folks you'd think I'd be happy and delighted   cause all my dreams are finally coming true   but did I mention all my dreams are nightmares   in my head I feel a storm about to brew      the clouds are hovering a mean blue and purple   no sunshine in my life anymore   the spirits are creepin' 'round every corner   I'm petrified but I'm unlockin' my door      so long cruel world   (so long cruel world)   dear mother goodbye   (dear mother goodbye)      these are the only words I say before I die   I want an old man priest   and a stormy day   but don't waste money on a casket      I don't deserve a grave   just cut out my organs   give 'em to the barely livin'   turn my body into ashes   and pray my soul's forgiven      so long cruel world   (so long cruel world)   oh me oh my   (oh me oh my)      time is come to pay for what I've done   so goodbye   goodbye      I hear the cracklin' of the thunder   and though my name's not on the list   I'll sport a sharkskin and a splash of aqua velva   I'll do a dance of death, give me that kiss      so long cruel world   (so long cruel world)   oh me oh my   (oh me oh my)      oh lo oh lo oh lo   (oh lo oh lo oh lo)   oh lee oh li   (goodbye goodbye)      so long cruel world   oh me oh my   the time is come to pay for what I've done   so goodbye   goodbye
