Everyone is leaving for parts unknown
Everyone has packed up
Charged their cell phone
The taxi is a-waiting to take them to their trains
Got their tickets altogether
Letting go of the reins
And I would like to join them but I can't find the time
I need a small vacation
I'm no longer in my prime
If I let go will I make it eastward
If I let go will I make it eastward
Or drift on to shore
I am standing on a platform with guilt in my heart
But if I don't ever leave here
I can't make a start
Now I'm on a subway
A girl is sending a text
And I would like to ask her what will happen next
I am traveling far and wide with no guidebook and no plan
I am going here and yon in this strange and distant land
I am living on the cheap
Going native where I can
I am seeing inside out
I've become a different man
Everyone is gone now
I am gone as well
All the streets have been deserted
All the lawns have gone to hell
Don't plan on me returning
I've got new fish to fry
See you on the flip side
This is my goodbye
