Lyrics
Goodbye Fire Island
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Burning on an autumn night
A piece of me has been set alight
Moving like a locomotive
To tear you up and take your wife away
Coming down like Christmas lights
Strung up bomb, these walls look out this night
Douse my house in gasoline
Strike your match and walk
Away, ay
Feeding on the fainting models
Away, ay
White meat festival, yeah
Hey, yeah
Ocean filled with plastic bottles
Hey, yeah
And tidal waves will wash us all away
Wash us all away
I’m turning in this burning ramp
Shattered windshield, broken back
Crawling on your arms for safety
Before the flames take your life away
Send me with stiletto heels
Feed me pills and happy meals
Leave me here to beat up zodies
Smile, spit, swiftly walk
Away, yeah
Feeding on the fainting model
Hey, yeah
White meat festival, yeah
Hey, yeah
Ocean filled with plastic bottles
Hey, yeah
And tidal waves will wash us all away
May left us here to wander
They left us here to stay
Our dreams were torn asunder
Quickly washed away
Stranded in the ocean
Lost our only boat
Abandoned here and broken
Cost us everything we own
Hey ay
Feeding on the fainting model
Hey, yeah
White meat festival, yeah
Hey, yeah
Ocean filled with plastic bottles
Hey, yeah
And tidal waves will wash us all away
Wash us all away
Wash us all away
Wash us all away
Wash us all away
