GOODBYE

We were just boys

But we understood the world

“I am huge and you’re small,

I am a boy, and you’re a girl”

We were born with wisdom

And we’ll die in paint

We were born under the sun

And we’ll die when it rains

What has happened?

What’s going on?

Finally we’ve grown up

But the times of wisdom they’re gone

I cry when I remember

I cry when I think

I die when I live

I was told by the shrink

I don’t know

If you’re alive

You probably have children

A good job, an ugly wife

And now I’m here

And believe it seems

Like the bigger the depression

The bigger were the dreams

Goodbye, I say

Goodbye, my friend

The last time we dreamed

Turned out to be the end
