123 Goodbye

Elvis Perkins


123 goodbye
I love you more in death
Than I ever could in life
123 all sigh
When the dollar is young
And the year is new
Me and the full Wolf Moon
Will be over you
Unto the nighttime
I dream for you 12 sparrows pretty in a row
1 and 23 eyes open to the risen scarecrow of scarecrows
With his mind all blown
Down those hay lined roads
To his farmer's throne

It was happy 123
It was sad 123
We were happy once you and me
When we were sad

Once upon a time
We were happy in the bathtub
In the abacus of the rains
Once upon a time
We take our laughter to the blackboard
With a calculus of pain

And with good news from the weather vein
We'll go our separate ways

It was happy 123
It was sad 123
We were happy once you and me
When we were sad

Once in a lifetime
When the dollar is young and the year is new
Once in a lifetime
Will the undoing of two souls be so easy to do
Like it was for me, like it was for you
When you find somebody who's so very easy to lose

It was happy 123
It was sad 123
We were happy once you and me when we were sad
123 goodbye, goodbye
Ready? 123 goodbye
Steady! 123 goodbye
Nice to know you! three goodbye
It's very nice to meet you! three goodbye
Are you ready? 123 GOODBYE
