Nellie McKay - Adios lyrics

rate me

<!-- start of lyrics -->

If time runs like a river

I saw my people bathed in blood

And if the faithful find the sinners

I'll have to leave all I loved

(Adios)

Goodbye, O hypocrite heathens

(Adios)

Goodbye, O false paradise

(Adios)

Goodbye, O rinky-dink Eden

And may you lie yourselves to sleep

Tonight

We're marching through the madness

With not a soul about to see

We're moving through the fortress

Chasing the ghosts of anarchy

(Adios)

Goodbye, my Frankenstein lady

(Adios)

Goodbye, O pagan delights

(Adios)

Goodbye, and good riddance, baby

And may you lie yourselves to sleep

Tonight
