Goodnight Elisabeth

[Verse 1]

I was wasted in the afternoon, waiting on a train

I woke up in pieces and Elisabeth had disappeared again

I wish you were inside of me, I hope that you're ok

I hope you're resting quietly

I just wanted to say

[Chorus]

Good, goodnight, Elisabeth

Goodnight, Elisabeth

Goodnight

Good, goodnight, Elisabeth

Goodnight, Elisabeth

Goodnight

[Verse 2]

We couldn't all be cowboys, so some of us are clowns

Some of us are dancers on the midway

We roam from town to town

I hope that everybody can find a little flame

Me, I say my prayers, then I just light myself on fire

And I walk out on the wire once again

[Chorus]

And I said

Good, goodnight, Elisabeth

Goodnight, Elisabeth

Goodnight

Good, goodnight, Elisabeth

Goodnight, Elisabeth

Goodnight

[Verse 3]

I will wait for you in Baton Rouge

I'll miss you down in New Orleans

I'll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable

And I'll miss you when I'm slipping in between

If you wrap yourself in daffodils, I will wrap myself in pain

And if you're the queen of California

Baby, I am the king of the rain

[Chorus]

And I said

Good, goodnight Elisabeth

Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight

Good, goodnight Elisabeth

The moon's a satellite, yeah

[Outro]

Why don't you fall down on me now?

Why don't you fall down on me?

Oh, come, come fall down on me now

Why don't you fall down on me?

'Cause I'm all alone and you ain't comin' home

You just settle down, down, down into bone

Yeah, I said I'm all alone, you ain't comin' home

We just settle down, down, down into bone
