I'm Going Away for a While

I'm going away for a while.
Don't come lookin' 'round here for me.
I'm going away for a while.
Don't come lookin' 'round here for me.
I'm going away for a while.
Don't come lookin' 'round here for me.
Your eyelids just look like
octopus to me.

I'm going away for a while.
Don't come lookin' 'round here for me.
I'm going away for a while.
Don't come lookin' 'round here for me.
I'm going away for a while.
Don't come lookin' 'round here for me.
How good could you be feelin'
when your gums are bleedin'?

I'm going away for a while.
Don't come lookin' 'round here for me.
I'm going away for a while.
Don't come lookin' 'round here for me.
I'm going away for a while.
Don't come lookin' 'round here for me.
I saw a snake coming cross the street.
It curled up like an oil spill at my feet.

Preverse:
I listen
To your wordlessness
And wait
For the silence to break

Verse 1:
Did you think i could not make you cry?
Did you think i would leave you to lie
On the floor?
Don't pretend nothing has changed
Don't tell me we are the same
As before

Chorus:
We can run
We can fight
We can find the truth till there's nothing but lies
We can talk
We can shout
We can build our love till there's nothing but doubt

Preverse

Verse 2:
Remember the day when we met?
Were you hoping that i would forget?
I think so
Is there something that you want to say
If you want me to just go away
I will go

Chorus

I’m going away for awhile
Thank you
And it’s gonna be a long trip, yes
Yes, I’ll be staying in many a dingy motel
With many a dingy call girl
But don’t worry about me
The open road is a familiar friend
With it’s truck stops and roadkill
And empty soda bottles filled with urine
Just sittin’ there at the side of the road
And I'll be out there
I’ll be snortin’ speed and eatin’ mescaline
And thinkin’ of you and some quaaludes
To calm me down
But this time will be different
Because this time
I’ll be wearing a suit the entire time
A nice suit
And I’ll have a song in my heart

I'm going away for a very long time
I’m going away for a very long while
I'm going away for a very long time

Yes, It’s going to be a long long time,
But I’ll get by
floatin’ on cloud to cloud
From town to town, in a rainbow
In a rainbow colored boat of some kind
Slidin down the sewers eatin’ manure
And cursin’
And maybe I’ll shave my head
And have a surgeon Peel back the skin on the top of my head
So that a tattoo artist
Can inscribe a message on my skullcap
A message to all you fine people out there
Which will read
"Wish you were here"

I'm going away for a very long time
I’m going away for a very long while
I'm going away for a very long time
And that's a long goddamn time

I'm Going Away For a While
by Stubby Phillips

God sent a storm to punish us because someone was gay
My neighborhood - whole towns and cities - washed away
It even pushed the war - the world - off the front page
Only politics and pain were strong enough to stay
Now this great land of prosperity and order
will ship me off to someplace where the lines are shorter

I'm going away for a while - gonna get on that bus
Hope it takes me someplace where the toilets all flush
Where the government says we will take care of you
When I don't have to think then I'll know what to do

I used to work in a big factory
All day long I'd put part A into slot B
Making things I don't understand for people I don't know
That job really sucked but they had to let me go
Pretty soon they'll make everything in China
and we'll be here selling what they made to each other

I'm going away for a while - gonna follow my dreams
Live in someone's garage and it's practically free
I'll get back on my feet - just you wait and you'll see
There's a job with a future just waiting for me

I'm going away for a while - to a flood plain up north
in Tornado Alley - an opportunity
There's a new factory - building big SUVs

in the mirror, baby, i love you

goodbye baby girl
