Goodbye & Hello

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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