I seen you standing In a river made of gold The moon was shining in your eyes The scent of maple In the early morning fog You wore a halo made of flies Where will I go when everyone is gone? Guess I'll just go away Why am I haunted by every lonesome song? I hear 'em night and day You held a pistol It was silver, it was jeweled There was a bullet in your brain Within the wound there was no blood There was no gore I felt a strange nostalgic pain Where will I go when everyone is gone? Guess I'll just go away Why am I haunted by every lonesome song? I hear 'em night and day It's hard to tell now What is real and what is fake Was Jonah swallowed by a whale? Sometimes I wonder If there ever was a world Before the serpent ate its tail Where will I go when everyone is gone? Guess I'll just go away Why am I haunted by every lonesome song? I hear 'em night and day So here we are now In a place where time is gone Where every failure is forgot A place where maybe There exists something true Before it's buried 'neath the rot Where will I go when everyone is gone? Guess I'll just go away Why am I haunted by every lonesome song? I hear 'em night and day Where will I go?
