Folks you'd think I'd be happy and delighted

'Cause all my dreams are finally coming true

But did I mention all my dreams are nightmares

In my head I feel a storm about to brew

The clouds are hovering a mean blue and purple

No sunshine in my life anymore

The spirits are creepin' 'round every corner

I'm petrified but I'm unlockin' my door

So long cruel world

(So long cruel world)

Dear mother goodbye

(Dear mother goodbye)

These are the only words I say before I die

I want an old man priest

And a stormy day

But don't waste money on a casket

I don't deserve a grave

Just cut out my organs

Give 'em to the barely livin'

Turn my body into ashes

And pray my soul's forgiven

So long cruel world

(So long cruel world)

Oh me oh my

(Oh me oh my)

Time is come to pay for what I've done

So goodbye

Goodbye

I hear the cracklin' of the thunder

And though my name's not on the list

I'll sport a sharkskin and a splash of aqua velva

I'll do a dance of death, give me that kiss

so long cruel world

(So long cruel world)

Oh me oh my

(Oh me oh my)

oh lo oh lo oh lo

(Oh lo oh lo oh lo)

Oh lee oh li

(Goodbye goodbye)

So long cruel world

Oh me oh my

The time is come to pay for what I've done

So goodbye

Goodbye
