I carry your baggage and my carry-ons
dig deep, loathing like the tar ponds
brought me the sugar on a candy horse
we were built to break down and run our course
the first time ain't the deepest cut
'cause everyday I lose a pint of blood

say goodbye say goodbye and let the weight go
say goodbye say goodbye with a heave ho
say ole say ole on your way out of town
strike a match strike a match and burn the bridge down

gone gone gone and dropping the torch
gun across the lap on the crumbling porch
someone say pull and the dove explodes
beautiful, free and then dead on the road
guess I'll let you keep the poison pen
say how I feel and never see you again

go go go can I say it enough
is it still love if love's this tough
a complicated game if you give it a name
makes about as much sense as more cocaine
big glass house and the rocks are free
so tell me 'nother story 'bout what's wrong with me

say goodbye say goodbye and let the weight go
say goodbye say goodbye with a heave ho
say ole say ole on your way out of town
strike a match strike a match and burn the bridge down
