Goodnight

Goodnight

I’m staring down the barrel of a loaded knife

I’m kissing day goodnight

I’m throwing my peace sign in the air

And letting my air raid siren blare

I’m leaving loose ends

And fraying ties

I’ll no longer pretend

I’m confessing my lies

I’m taking on life with a wicked grin

I’m not being suppressed again

I’m going to be living risky

I’m not going to be lost

Won’t be shootin’ back whiskey

I’m going to be my own boss

My claxon is going off

And my warning lights are flashing

Like life before my eyes

While you come down crashing

I laugh in the face of danger

And just a little bit at your failure

Because at the end you curl up and cry

And kiss your life goodbye

And even if I’m staring down the barrel of a loaded knife

I’m only kissing day goodnight
