Useless Desires

Say goodbye to the old street
 That never cared much for you anyway
 The 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
 That 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
 It 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
