Adios - Nellie McKay

If time runs like a river

I saw my people bathed in blood

And if the faithful find the sinners

I’ll have to leave all I have loved

(Adios)

Goodbye, oh, hypocrite heathens

(Adios)

Goodbye, oh, false paradise

(Adios)

Goodbye, oh, rinky-dink Eden

And may you lie yourselves to sleep

Tonight

We’re marching through the madness

With not a soul about to see

We’re moving through the fortress

Chasing the ghosts of anarchy

(Adios)

Goodbye, my Frankenstein lady

(Adios)

Goodbye, oh, pagan delights

(Adios)

Goodbye and good riddance, baby

And may you lie yourselves to sleep

Tonight
