Goodbye, Killer

I was you, you were me Took back soaring high above a reefer sea Life looked pretty from where we stood But you were shooting for the gutter And your aim was very good Maybe if I hadn't let it get so far Then it might not be so difficult to be where other people are You knew heartache, you knew tears Well, so did all the other ones you dragged down in the gears I don't judge, I know will is free But when the sick abet the sick It's gonna end up tragically Maybe if I hadn't let it get so far Then it might not be so difficult to be where other people are Be where the people are Be where the people are Be where the people are Be where the people are Someone's lover Someone's brother Someone's friend Lovely words and concepts Sweeter when they're true I once applied to you Someone's killer Someone's devil Someone's end It's hard to live that down It's hard to live as them So go easy, friend Goodbye, killer Goodbye, Joe I hope you know I always loved you But I had to let you go Maybe if I hadn't let it get so far Then it might not be so difficult to be where other people are Be where the people are Be where the people are Be where the people are Be where the people are
