I cannot stand to see what I see 
I can't stand this place I must be 
I don't mean to imply that above all am I 
but again... 
kiss me goodnight my friend 
just say goodnight my friend 

take a look at yourself take a look at me 
I believe you miss all there is to see 
don't believe in the lies that you hear with your eyes again 
kiss me goodnight my friend 
just say goodnight my friend 

racer of the chase for pleasure 
actor of the child at play 
lay down it's time for nappie baby 
taking all your toys away 

I cannot stand to feel this way I feel 
I can't stand to face what I fear is real 
I don't mnean to imply that you'd utterly lie 
but again... 
just say goodnight my friend
