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 dayglo cranes
That spread like floods from corner to corner
And waved goodnight to me
So when it all fell down, I should have been prepared
They 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 spent the last five years yelling
"C'mon! 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
Wave goodnight to the sleepless city too tired to fight
They're pushing you out in the name of progress
And selling your memories to the tourists
