I carry your baggage and my carry-ons I dig deep, loathing like the tar ponds You brought me the sugar on a candy horse We were built to break down and to run our course The first time ain't the deepest cut 'Cause every time I see 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, and dropping the torch Got a gun across the lap on the crumbling porch Someone say pull and the dove explodes Beautiful and free and then dead on the road I guess I'll let you keep the poison pen I say how I feel and never see you again 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 Go 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 c**aine Big gla** 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 Strike a match, strike a match, and burn the bridge down Strike a match, strike a match, and burn the bridge down
