The Goodbye Train by The Apartments Lyrics

Give nothing away, no dark confession
She fled from everything she knew
Came through alcohol to you

Your saw that world, its fucking chances
You know its every crummy room
There are no tickets for the doomed

This side of town you had forgotten
Where all the melancholy Janes
Just reminisce or go insane

And the goodbye train, some of us
Went on it for a while
The goodbye train came along &
Took you for a ride
The goodbye train

But you’re not lost of broken yet
You’rе not lost or broken yet
This side of town you had forgottеn
Where all the melancholy Joes
Along the river that you know

Are fading fast, the cheap illusions
Maybe a hundred towns ago
They had a hundred kinds of hope

They held out for the big tomorrow
Always on the outside looking in
The windows of the rich

And the goodbye train, some of us
Went on it for a while
The goodbye train came along and
Took you for a ride
The goodbye train

Where are you now? my dark obsession
I walk the streets in dead man’s shoes
Through smoke and rain to get to you

Your bitterness, your disillusion
You thought you’d die of loneliness
Whoever loved you you’d just wreck
You tear your dress, you tear your stockings
You tear up everything we had
Both the beautiful and bad

And the goodbye train, some of us
Went on it for a while
The goodbye train came along and
Took you for a ride
The goodbye train

You can’t give in, you can’t give in
Not you, not you Sunny Jim...
