A Fond Farewell

Lyrics

The Lite-Brite's now black and white
 'Cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right
 Pitch burning on a shining sheet
 The only maker that you want to meet
 A dying man in a living room
 Whose shadow paces the floor
 Who'll take you out any open door
 This is not my life
 It's just a fond farewell to a friend
 It's not what I'm like
 It's just a fond farewell to a friend
 Who couldn't get things right
 A fond farewell to a friend
 ♪
 He said, "really, I just want to dance"
 Good and evil match perfect, it's a great romance
 And I can deal with some psychic pain
 If it'll slow down my higher brain
 Veins full of disappearing ink
 Vomiting in the kitchen sink
 Disconnecting from the missing link
 This is not my life
 It's just a fond farewell to a friend
 It's not what I'm like
 It's just a fond farewell to a friend
 Who couldn't get things right
 A fond farewell to a friend
 I see you're leaving me
 And taking up with the enemy
 The cold comfort of the in-between
 A little less than a human being
 A little less than a happy high
 A little less than a suicide
 The only things that you really tried
 This is not my life
 It's just a fond farewell to a friend
 It's not what I'm like
 It's just a fond farewell to a friend
 Who couldn't get things right
 A fond farewell to a friend
 This is not my life
 It's just a fond farewell to a friend
