《Goodbye & Hello》歌词

[00:00:11] The antique people are down in the dungeons

[00:00:16] Run by machines and afraid of the tax

[00:00:20] Their heads in the grave and their hands on their eyes

[00:00:24] Hauling their hearts around circular tracks

[00:00:28] Pretending forever their masquerade towers

[00:00:33] Are not really riddled with widening cracks

[00:00:40] And I wave goodbye to iron

[00:00:59] And smile hello to the air

[00:01:07] The velocity addicts explode on the highways

[00:01:22] Ignoring the journey and moving so fast

[00:01:51] Their nerves fall apart and they gasp but can't breathe

[00:02:01] They run from the cops of the skeleton past

[00:02:05] Petrified by tradition in a nightmare they stagger

[00:02:10] Into nowhere at all and they look up aghast

[00:02:18] And I wave goodbye to speed

[00:02:21] And smile hello to a rose

[00:02:35] The king and the queen in their castle of billboards

[00:02:41] Sleepwalk down the hallways dragging behind

[00:02:47] All their possessions and transient treasures

[00:02:53] As they go to worship the electronic shrine

[00:03:00] On which is playing the late late commercial

[00:03:21] In that hollowest house of the opulent blind

[00:03:34] And I wave goodbye to Mammon

[00:03:51] And smile hello to a stream

[00:04:06] The vaudeville generals cavort on the stage

[00:04:17] And shatter their audience with submachine guns

[00:04:55] And Freedom and Violence the acrobat clowns

[00:05:06] Do a balancing act on the graves of our sons

[00:05:12] While the tapdancing Emperor sings War is peace

[00:05:16] And Love the Magician disappears in the fun

[00:05:22] And I wave goodbye to murder

[00:05:25] And smile hello to the rain

[00:05:39] The bloodless husbands are jesters who listen

[00:05:50] Like sheep to the shrieks and commands of their wives

[00:06:02] And the men who aren't men leave the women alone

[00:06:31] See them all faking love on a bed made of knives

[00:06:43] Afraid to discover or trust in their bodies

[00:06:46] And in secret divorce they will never survive

[00:06:51] And I wave goodbye to ashes

[00:07:10] And smile hello to a girl

[00:07:20] The antique people are fading out slowly

[00:07:28] Like newspapers flaming in mind suicide

[00:08:02] Godless and sexless directionless loons

[00:08:08] Their sham sandcastles dissolve in the tide

[00:08:11] They put on their deathmasks and compromise daily

[00:08:15] The new children will live for the elders have died

[00:08:21] And I wave goodbye to America

[00:08:24] And smile hello to the world
