GPack a change of clothes and a Cpillow
for the road for when you Gdrift off
Put the sketches and the notes in the Cbox
labeled 'burn with furniGture'
We will Amwatch the fire burn
the whole enDtire house we built down to Gashes
From the Ammirror we'll admire how the Dflame quickly retires
We won't Amwaste a long goodbye on the Dsmoke or foolish lies
that finally Gpassed us
I was Amtaught to keep an open-ended lifeD
And never trap myself in noGthing
GLet's find something new to talk abCout
I'm tired of talkin' about myGself
I spent my whole life talkin' to conCvince
everyone that I was something Gelse
And the Ampart that kinda hurts is
I Dthink it finally worked and now I'm leaGving
I get the Amfeeling things have changed But the Dmystery to me
is where and Amwhen along the way Did anyDone decide
that they beGlieved me
I was Amtaught to keep an open-ended lifeD
And never trap myself in Gnothing
I was Amtold to keep an open-ended lifeD
To never trap yourself in noGthing

GWhen we settle down in another nowhere tCown
let's tell our neighGbors
We won't be here long and we'll be Cquiet
but don't go askin' any faGvors
I can't Amstand the unexpected uninDvited visits from
too many Gstrangers
My Amtrust has dwindled down and I can Dleave just as abruptly
as I came Ghere
I was Amtaught to keep an open-ended lifeD
And never trap myself in Gnothing
I was Amtaught to keep an open-ended lifeD
To never trap yourself in Gnothing
I was Amtaught to keep an open-ended lifeD
And never trap myself in Gnothing
