lyrics

pagoda hill
a man can still find sanctuary
out among the squirrels and whippoorwills
pit bulls bark from dawn to dark
the old man on the bench
says he's the mayor of the park

oh hello there mr. boh
you're giving me the side-eye
is there something i should know
grit and pluck and rotten luck
and dreams that steal away at night in mayflower trucks

all my friends found the greener grass
i tell them all they can kiss my ass
what they're looking for i'll never know
but here's my hand
won't you say hello to goodbye city

francis key
oh say i see
your bridge out in the distance
no one crosses it for free
cars and boats and fancy coats
the world is on the move tonight
but memory only floats

all my friends say to start anew
it isn't something i'm inclined to do
she was the first girl i ever knew
who cared enough
to bring me to goodbye city

goodbye city
isn't it a shame we found each other so late in the game
don't know about you
but i've had a few too many bad experiences
time for something new

all the world is a speck of dust
even iron men turn to rust
sure as rivers flow to the seas
i think i've finally made my peace with goodbye city
goodbye city
goodbye city
