The Walkabouts - Goodbye (to All That) lyrics

Wisecracks and hijacks And contracts to sell Old wine in new bottles Times are the same Diggin' the ditch quick And quick to escape The patent is pending On flood tides and bones Goodbye To all that Goodbye To all that Brittle and hollow And sharp as the hills It hasn't rained on us In 25 years Home fires burning The branches of trees No train well No train has ever stopped here Goodbye To all that Goodbye To all that Wake it up Wake it up Wake it up Wake it up Wake it up Short cut to nowhere Long haul to desperate Roots in the cellar And bombs in the pipes. Don't call me river I'd rather be nameless River don't choose What she carries away Goodbye To all that Goodbye To all that Wake it up Wake it up Wake it up Wake it up Wake it up
