lyrics

Never was a city that could be raised above a flood
Never was a tough guy liked the sight of his own blood
And I never thought I'd say this but I think I am in love
This feeling's new excuse me, I need to get caught up

It wakes me up every single night
It's enough to make a bastard cry
Oooh, ooh, la la la la la la la
Just sitting on my ass and waiting for the long goodbye

All the plastic bottles meet in the middle of the sea
They're gonna stick around this place a lot longer than me
When a spotlight shines down on them, directly from the sky
It's ray refracts a million times inside your little eye

If you're lost, you can call me anytime
I'll clone your heart anew inside of mine
Oooh, ooh, la la la la la la la
Pinching a nerve and flicking off the long goodbye
Blue in the face from cursing out the long goodbye

You live a litte while but don't try to push your luck
It's a Sisyphean clusterfuck and it only happens once
Mark that page and plant a tree, plant a kiss on your loved one
Tonight we laugh, tomorrow, who knows
That's how the job gets done

Stand up straight and look me in the eye
You can hear it said just so many times
Oooh, ooh, la la la la la la la
Watching as the world turns, living with the long goodbye
Watching as the world turns, laughing with the long goodbye
