Lyrics
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 okay
I hope you're resting quietly
I just wanted to say
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
We couldn't all be cowboys
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
And me, I say my prayers, then I just light myself on fire
And walk out on the wire once again
And I say
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
Goodnight, Elisabeth
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
Well, I will wait for you in Baton Rouge
Miss you down in New Orleans
Wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
I'll miss you when I'm slipping in between
But if you wrap yourself in daffodils
I will wrap myself in pain, oh
And if you're the queen of California
Baby, I am the king of the rain
And I say
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
Good, goodnight Elisabeth
The moon, the satellites, yeah, now
Won't you fall down on me now?
Won't you fall down on me?
Come, come, come fall down on me now
Won't you fall down on me?
'Cause I'm all alone, you ain't coming home
We just settle down, down, down into bone
Yeah, I said I'm all alone, you ain't coming home
We just settle down, down, down into bone
