Lyrics for Song: Useless Desires
Lyrics for Album: Impossible Dream [2004]
Say goodbye to the old street
That never cared much for you anyway
Different colored doorways
You thought would let you in one day
Goodbye to the old bus stop frozen and waiting
Weekend edition has this town way overrated
Walk across the baseball green
The grass has turned to straw
A flock of birds tries to fly away from where you are
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend
I can't make you stay
I can't spend another ten years
Wishing you would anyway
How the sky turns to fire
Against the telephone wire
And even I'm getting tired
of useless desires
Every day I take a bitter pill
It gets me on my way
For the little aches and pains
The ones I have from day to day
To help me think a little less about the things I miss
To help me not to wonder how I ended up like this
Walk down to the railroad track and ride a rusty train
With a million other faces I shoot through the city veins
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend
You wanted to be free
Somewhere beyond the bitter end
Is where I wanna be
How the sky turns to fire
Against the telephone wire
And even I'm getting tired
Of useless desires
Say goodbye to the old building
I never tried to know your name
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, old friend
You won't be seeing me again
Goodbye to all the window panes
Shining in the sun
Like diamonds on a winter day
Goodbye, goodbye to everyone
How the sky turns to fire
Against the telephone wire
Burns the last of the day down
And I'm the last one hanging around
Waiting on a train track
And the train never comes back
And even I'm getting tired
Of useless desires
Oh oh whoa oh oh oh whoa oh (4x)
