A Fitting Way To Say Goodbye

from The Hoax by Wild Animals

/

lyrics

This is an open letter in the form of a song

No need to mourn for me when I’m gone

No searching for the truth,

quite frankly I don’t have a clue


Don’t sell me heaven or hell,

just give it to me straight

It’s been a long time since I read a fairytale

Good and evil that fight,

in life nothing is black or White


Don’t send me off in tears, no solemn dedication

I prefer my loved ones gather round singing in celebration



I’ve never been to church on my own accord

“The Gods” placed an allergy in me,

prayers that don’t ring true,

you know Mum this one is for you




Don’t send me off in tears, no solemn dedication

I prefer my loved ones gather round singing in celebration



Though I know it hurts a bit,
you promised me we’d never quit
even when “misery pure” was said and done

And that time we bust a tire,
a fifteen minute show on fire
and we’re still waiting for the summer


Don’t send me off in tears, no solemn dedication

I prefer my loved ones gather round singing in celebration



I’ve always thought my friends playing their songs all night,
would be a fitting way to say goodbye
