You, always had your
art and flair
pony tail and your
hip-hop hair
Me, you dug me out
of Bisco\'s chair
and somehow
placed me there
. Did you ever see
. beyond outside of me
. was there never ever
. meant to be
. broken heart indemnity
. Now is the time that came
. to put the past to rest
. i never knew what
. became of you but
. for me I gave my best
. (chorus) Goodbye seemed to be our place to be
. I took the car you took the street
. love\'s bad was never so indiscrete
. like i was gum beneath your feet
you took your time
you made the grade
finally hitched
in yer fine brocade
happy child
in your happy arms
as estranged daddy
paid for all your charms
. (2nd chorus) yes goodbye seemed our place to be
. I got the car, you took the meat
. but there was never, never time to cheat
. a parting never so oh-oh incomplete
. (slow/half time section)
me taking a glance across the street
beneath rainclouds our eyes meet
you look away, then you looked back
familiar face, saying \'you\'re just Jack \'
. (3rd chorus) goodbye seemed to be our place to be
. forever you forever me
. whatever made our chemistry
. found fatal flaws with consistency
. (4th chorus) so goodbye you, goodbye me
. writhing sensuality
. a burned out fire an old ash tree
. the hollow cry of a third degree
. (pause)
. (slow/half time section to the finish)
. now I must say that I agree
. another sip of herbal tea
. lays to rest the autopsy
. of a tear stained, paid for, last decree
