The Big Goodbye

I guess I went a little crazy
I was out of my depth
Felt intimidated, couldn't catch my breathe
I had to say the big goodbye
'Cause I wanna go home
The only soul you could save these days is your own
Oh, say, can you see? (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
The tunnel of light (Everybody's got an old soul)
A band of angels that you seek when you're alive
Oh, look away (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
Something I have to do (Everybody's got an old soul)
Please don't follow me, I'll wait for you
I live through the lies that kill me inside
One day, I'll meet them all when they decide
You know when I'm there (You know when I'm there)
I'll be the rash on your skin
Right there by your side when the rage sets in
Oh, say, can you see? (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
The tunnel of light (Everybody's got an old soul)
A band of angels that you seek when you're alive
Oh, look away (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
Something I have to do (Everybody's got an old soul)
Please don't follow me, I'll wait for you
Everybody knows there's a ghost in my machine
I've been standin' round yellin', "Cut the feed!"
Kinda of sweet how it feels when it's goin' down
Down, down, yeah
When the rollin' of the thunder stops
I'll be your microphone into your heart
Here they come now, I'm fadin' away
'Way, 'way, 'way
'Way
Fadin' away
Oh, can you see? (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
The tunnel of light (Everybody's got an old soul)
A band of angels that you seek when you're alive
When you're alive, oh, look away
(Everybody's gone a little crazy)
There's something I have to do (Everybody's got an old soul)
Please don't follow me, I'll wait for you
(Everybody's gone a little crazy)
(Everybody's got an old soul)
There's a ghost in my machine
