So Long Cruel World

folks you'd think I'd be happy and delighted
 cause all my dreams are finally coming true
 but did I mention all my dreams are nightmares
 in my head I feel a storm about to brew
 the clouds are hovering a mean blue and purple
 no sunshine in my life anymore
 the spirits are creepin' 'round every corner
 I'm petrified but I'm unlockin' my door
 so long cruel world
 (so long cruel world)
 dear mother goodbye
 (dear mother goodbye)
 these are the only words I say before I die
 I want an old man priest
 and a stormy day
 but don't waste money on a casket
 I don't deserve a grave
 just cut out my organs
 give 'em to the barely livin'
 turn my body into ashes
 and pray my soul's forgiven
 so long cruel world
 (so long cruel world)
 oh me oh my
 (oh me oh my)
 time is come to pay for what I've done
 so goodbye
 goodbye
 I hear the cracklin' of the thunder
 and though my name's not on the list
 I'll sport a sharkskin and a splash of aqua velva
 I'll do a dance of death, give me that kiss
 so long cruel world
 (so long cruel world)
 oh me oh my
 (oh me oh my)
 oh lo oh lo oh lo
 (oh lo oh lo oh lo)
 oh lee oh li
 (goodbye goodbye)
 so long cruel world
 oh me oh my
 the time is come to pay for what I've done
 so goodbye
 goodbye
