Going Away

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.

Please don't forget me

I'm going away

I'm taking a taxi to Kentucky

Where they don't need to know all about me

I just need to feel safe

I've got a thousand sweaters and shoes and paintings to hide

The skeletons in my bed

Don't ask where I'm going

I'm going away

I'm going my way

Finally, it's my time

To be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait

Don't forget what I said

Don't forget my letter

Every night I pray for you

I don't got no religion

Isn't that something?

I'll miss those days

I, I saved that bottle

It's now ten years aged

I've got some bibles I could sell for money

And a pair of fresh-shaved legs

Won't you baby come with me?

I've got extra space

In my car, in my heart, in my mind

Look there's the passenger seat

By the postcards you gave (Don't know where I'm going)

I'm going away

I'm going my way

Finally, it's my time

To be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait

Don't forget what I said

Don't forget my letter

Every night I pray for you

I don't got no religion

Isn't that something?

I'll miss those days

But he said: Slow down, slow down

Think it over, we've all got wretched closets

But silly girl pride kills more than AIDS lately

I said: Come on

I've thought it over

I don't want to die here

I've no desire to get married

I can't race the others anymore

No, I must learn to race myself

I'm going away

I'm going my way

Finally, it's my time

To be lonely, and lost, unloved and I can't wait

Please forget what I said (I'll find my way)

Please forget my letter

Every night I pray for you

I don't got a religion

Isn't that something?

I'll miss those days
