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
