I'm walkin' out the door I think its safe to say I won't be comin' back no more I'm three lifetimes behind What I wanted to be And what I'd hope to find There's a fire in my soul Its been burning at both ends To fashion diamonds from the coal The alchemist I play His recipe is our demise And I'm his protege Goodbye This is the the last farewell The last ride down the helter-skelter Around the carousel Goodbye I'm sorry for the tears I'm sorry most, though not for you But all the wasted years There's an ecstasy in pain It strips away the droughts Fickle, and profane Goodbye This is the the last farewell The last ride down the helter skelter Around the carousel Goodbye I'm sorry for the tears I'm sorry most, though not for you But all the wasted years This is the last farewell, this is the last farewell This is the last farewell, this is the last farewell This is the last farewell, this is the last farewell This is the last farewell, this is the last farewell Goodbye
