i was wasted in the afternoon

waiting on a train

i woke up in pieces and elisabeth had disappeared again

well i wish you were inside of me

i hope that you're ok

i hope your resting quietly

i just wanted to say



good, goodnight elisabeth,

goodnight elisabeth

goodnight elisabeth

goodnight



we couldn't all be cowboys

some of us are clowns

and some of us are dancers on the midway

we roam from town to town

i hope that everybody can find a little flame

me, i say my prayers

then i just light myself on fire

and i walk out on the wire once again

and i say



good, goodnight elisabeth,

goodnight elisabeth

goodnight elisabeth

goodnight



i will wait for you in Baton Rouge

i'll miss you down in New Orleans

i'll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable

and i'll miss you when i'm slipping in between

if you wrap yourself in daffodills

i will wrap myself in pain

and if you're the queen of California

baby i am the king of the rain

and i say



good, goodnight elisabeth,

goodnight elisabeth

goodnight elisabeth

goodnight

the moon's a satellite yeah

now wont you fall down

on me now

wont you fall down on me

come fall down

on me now

wont you fall down on me

'till im all alone

you aint coming home

you just settle down down down into bones

i said im all alone

you aint coming home

you just settle down down down into bones
