Well Papa go to bed now it's getting late |
|
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now |
|
I'll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary's Gate |
|
We wouldn't change this thing even if we could somehow |
|
Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us |
|
There's a darkness in this town that's got us too |
|
But they can't touch me now |
|
And you can't touch me now |
|
They ain't gonna do to me |
|
What I watched them do to you |
|
|
|
So say goodbye it's Independence Day |
|
It's Independence Day |
|
All down the line |
|
Just say goodbye it's Independence Day |
|
It's Independence Day this time |
|
|
|
Now I don't know what it always was with us |
|
We chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines |
|
There was just no way this house could hold the two of us |
|
I guess that we were just too much of the same kind |
|
|
|
Well say goodbye it's Independence Day |
|
It's Independence Day all boys must run away |
|
So say goodbye it's Independence Day |
|
All men must make their way come Independence Day |
|
|
|
Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie's joint |
|
And the highway she's deserted down to Breaker's Point |
|
There's a lot of people leaving town now |
|
Leaving their friends, their homes |
|
At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone |
|
|
|
Well Papa go to bed now it's getting late |
|
Nothing we can say can change anything now |
|
Because there's just different people coming down here now |
|
and they see things in different ways |
|
And soon everything we've known will just be swept away |
|
|
|
So say goodbye it's Independence Day |
|
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say |
|
But won't you just say goodbye it's Independence Day |
|
I swear I never meant to take those things away |
