Goodbye Mary Jane
On Midnight Salvage
MaryJane don't you comfort me
you stay right where you are
So long now you've been a good friend
but you're a dead end, that's all
There've been many times I've sympathized
and justified your stay
I needed you like you wanted me to
now won't you go away
You've eclipsed my wildest dreams
and put me in the shade
Then you try to convince me that you are the sun
and that I've got it made
You put voices in my head
that tell me I can fly
Well I ain't no bird and I ain't no catch
and I do not like your lies
I don't have that much to lose
but it doesn't mean I should
I'd just come back and start all over again
and I'd hate to think I would
have to meet you one more time
and fall in love again
And have to write this same damn song
just to say goodbye, my friend, my-
MaryJane I'm leaving you
you can't hold me anymore
You've burned your way into my soul
It's time to close the door
close the door!
