Intro.: -A -E -G -D

Wasted in the afternoon

Waiting on a train

I woke up in pieces and Elizabeth

Had disappeared again

I wish you were inside of me

Hope that you're OK

I hope that you're resting quietly

I just wanted to say

Good, Goodnight, Elizabeth

Goodnight Elizabeth, Goodnight

Good, Goodnight, Elizabeth

Goodnight, Elizabeth, Goodnight

We couldn't all be cowboys

So some of us are clowns

Some of us are dancers on the midway

Roam from town to town

Well I hope that everybody

Can find a little flame

I say my prayers and I set myself one fire

And I walk out on the wire, once again

I said

Well I wait for you in Baton Rouge

I miss you down in New Orleans

I wait for you while she slips in something comfortable

And I miss you when I'm slipping in between

If you wrap yourself in daffodils

I will wrap myself in pain

And If you're the Queen of California

Baby, I am the King of the Rain

And I said:

Goodnight Elisabeth

then i just light myself on fire

and i walk out on the wire once again

and i say

goodnight elisabeth
