Wave Goodnight to Me

I used to walk down to the docks in spring

And drink Tallboys on the rocks by the water

Under the watchful eye of Day-Glo cranes

That spread like floods from corner to corner

Wave goodnight to me

When it all fell down

I should've been prepared

They've spent the last five years

Yelling "Come on."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

I wish it didn't hurt

I wish I didn't care

They've spent the last five years

Yelling "Come on."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

Yeah, ignorance is bliss until the day

The things you ignored all come into focus

And those conveniences leave cavities

That can't get filled 'cause you didn't notice

Wave goodnight to me

When it all fell down

I should've been prepared

They've spent the last five years

Yelling "Come on."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

I wish it didn't hurt

I wish I didn't care

They've spent the last five years

Yelling "Come on."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

Wave goodnight to the sleepless city too tired to fight

They're pushing you out in the name of progress

Selling your memories to the tourists

Wave goodnight to me

When it all fell down

I should've been prepared

They've spent the last five years

Yelling "Come on."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

I wish it didn't hurt

I wish I didn't care

They've spent the last five years

Yelling "Come on."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

"Come on, come on get out of here."

Yeah, Wave goodnight to me
