Junkyard James

(album: Is Something Wrong? - 2009)

Oh, Junkyard James, go have a blast
The heavy hand has relented at last
No longer tied to apron string
Sing, "Goodbye, goodbye, to everything"

And if you break your back out there
Go straight to the engineer, he'll take good care
And her tailbones are brittle, spinal cord's a string
Sing, "Goodbye, goodbye, to everything"

Come visit me sometime and you will do well
She's got a lot of things to sell
A condo, a racehorse, and one diamond ring
Sing, "Goodbye, goodbye, to everything"

The counselor howling, "A job is a job!"
Is fumbling with a cold doorknob
On her way to the canyon to throw all her things
"What good for this cold heart could anyone bring?"

Now look alive, you useless lumps
Queen Ansleis is about to jump
She'll sing, "Farewell to you, my foolish king!
And goodbye, goodbye, to everything!"

Now Junkyard James went overboard
It happened in Lake Michigan some time ago
And just before diving someone heard him sing
"Oh, goodbye, goodbye, to everything"

Oh, goodbye, goodbye, to everything
Oh, goodbye, goodbye, to everything
