Departures are so hard, you claim, packing up your things.
Your necklaces and rings,
your darvadan and morphine.

You can't believe the actor smacked her, gave her a black eye.

There's something in the western winter where it's easier to say...
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

These yellow lights are turnin' red, turnin' red.
You starve your heart, you starve your head
and when it's over you go back to bed.

I don't want a job, I don't wanna go to school.
I don't want a job, I've got more important things to do.

You keep in touch with old friends,
I keep in touch with you. (keep in touch with you)
You're begging me to make every little word count,
I don't now but I used to.

You still do drugs,
I still play games.
You prefer not knowing,
I call you names.
In flights of fancy, grandeur and fame,
goodbye, goodbye.

These yellow lights are turnin' red, turnin' red.
You starve your heart, you starve your head
and when it's over you go back to bed.

I don't want a job, I don't wanna go to school.
I don't want a job, I've got more important things to do.

Wake up to the thought of you.
It's December, remember how cold it got in my garage?
You sat with your legs crossed,
Your mind lost, mind lost in losing you.
Street light like a christmas tree,
but the fires aren't burning 'cause it's 80 degrees.
and I'd like to have you alone, in my favorite cologne,
with the air on your hair.
We're still gettin' stoned.
It's a shame the games we play, 'cause I like it that way.

These yellow lights are turnin' red, turnin' red.
You starve your heart, you starve your head
and when it's over you go back to bed, you go back to bed.

I don't want a job, I don't wanna go to school.
I don't want a job, I've got more important things to do, more important things to do.

I don't want a job, I don't wanna go to school.
No, I don't want a job, I've got more important things to do, important things to do,
more important things to do than you.
