Say goodbye to the old street that never cared much for you anyway   And different colored doorways, you thought would let you in one day   Goodbye to the old bus stop frozen and waiting   Weekend addition has this town way over-rated      Walk across the baseball green, the grass has turned to straw   A flock of birds tries to fly away from where you are   Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friend, I can't make you stay   I can't spend another ten years wishing you would anyway      How the sky turns to fire against the telephone wire   And even I'm getting tired with useless desires      Everyday I take a bitter pill, it gets me on my way   For the little aches and pains, the ones I have from day to day   To help me think a little less about the things I miss   To help me not to wonder how I ended up like this      Walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty train   With a million other faces I shoot through the city veins   Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friends, you wanted to be free   And somewhere beyond the bitter end is where I wanna be      How the sky turns to fire against the telephone wire   And even I'm gettin' tired of useless desires      Say goodbye to the old building that never tried to know your name   Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friends, you won't be seeing me again   Goodbye to all the window panes shining in the sun   Like diamonds on a winter day, goodbye, goodbye to everyone      How the sky turns to fire against the telephone wire   Burns the last of the day down and I'm the last one hanging around   Waiting on a train track and the train never comes back   And even I'm getting tired of useless desires
