Goodbye to All That — текст песни (marillion)

(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)



They try to trace her in the town

Appeal for information on the local news

Someone must have missed her by now

A mother or a father or a friendly face to talk her down



Shes heading for the great escape

Heading for the rave

Heading for the permanent holiday ...





(I) wave



Hold your breath ... till you feel it begin ...

Here it comes ...

Do you feel that? ...

... feel this?

Get used to it ...



She had the face of the statue of liberty

Oh free me



The fire and ice of amazon and eskimo

Take me home



The edge and glance of high fashion

Ask me about next year ...





(ii) made



Tell me Im mad

How should I know?



Tell me Im mad

I have been here for so long ...



Help me paint a picture

They say its a lie



Tell me Im mad!

Youre a fine one to decide



Burn me in the fires of wild heaven

Like it never would stop

Tell me Im mad

Tell me I imagined that ...



Was it something I didnt say?

Or was it something I said

Leave that stuff alone

Use me instead



I know Im always falling off the edge of the world

I got space in my bed

("off with his head!" ... "clearly, hes mad")



Youve got egypt in your head

Ive got a headful of troy

Chandeliers and charlemagne

Fireworks and toys





(iii) the opinum den



But you sleep like a ghost with me

Its as simple as that

So tell me Im mad

Roll me up and breathe me in

Come to my madness

My opium den

Come to my madness

Make sense of it again





(iv) the slide



Make a drug of my senses

Ill get you out of your head ...



Im sick for you ...



Love wastes us together

Love holds us together

Love folds us together

Flowers ...





(v) standing in the swing



I dont know what youre doing here

When theres murder on the street

I appreciate your concern

But dont waste your time on me

Im ashes on the water now

Somewhere far away

You think you came here just in time

But youre twenty years too late

You wont have long to wait



Easy

You said I was easy

This world sharpens teeth

Eat your words ...
