Lyrics for Goodbye Fire Island
Burning on an autumn night A piece of me has been set alight Moving like a locomotive To tear you up and take your wife away Coming down like Christmas lights Strung up on these walls for countless nights Douse my house in gasoline Strike a match and walk Away, yeah Feeding on the fainting models Hey, yeah White meat festival, yeah Hey, yeah Ocean filled with plastic bottles Hey, yeah And tidal waves will wash us all away Wash us all away I'm turning in this burning wreck Shattered windshield, broken back Crawling on your arms to safety Before the flames take your life away Stab me with stiletto heels Feed me pills and happy meals Leave me here to bleed out slowly Smile, spit, and swiftly walk Away, yeah Feeding on the fading models Hey, yeah White meat festival, yeah Hey, yeah Ocean filled with plastic bottles Hey, yeah And tidal waves will wash us all away They left us here to wander They left us here to stay Our dreams were torn asunder Quickly washed away Stranded in the ocean Lost our only boat Abandoned here and broken Cost us everything we own Hey, yeah Feeding on the fading models Hey, yeah White meat festival, yeah Hey, yeah Ocean filled with plastic bottles Hey, yeah And tidal waves will wash us all away Wash us all away Wash us all away Wash us all away
