Wave Goodnight To Me

Lyrics for 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 and 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" Wave goodnight to me
