Lyrics
Goodbye Cruel World
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.
there's a train going by
and the railroad cars
rush away like the days in the year
and i'm waving goodbye
cause something is leaving
but things are not how they appear
goodbye cruel world
i'm not going with you
watching you fade away
i won't even miss you
so cool and hard
good times are coming our way
there's a field of golden grass
just growing
clouds moving over the sky
one dark horse just won't run
don't ask me to push her by
so long cruel world...
from now on that whistle blowing
it's a false alarm i won't be going down there
there's a train going by
just an aching pain
just a little brown bruise
and i'm waving goodbye
cause something is leaving
a cow's jumping over the moon
goodbye cruel world...
