I was wasted in the afternoon
Waitin' on a train
I woke up in pieces and Elisabeth
Had disappeared again
Well, I wish you were inside of me
I hope that you are okay
I hope you're resting quietly
I just wanted to say

Good, goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight
Good, goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight

We couldn't all be cowboys
So some of us are clowns
Some of us are dancers on the midway
We roam from town to town
I hope that everybody
Can find a little flame
And me, I say my prayers
Then I just light myself on fire
And walk out on the wire once again
And I said

Good, goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight
Good, goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight
Well I will wait for you in Baton Rouge
Miss you down in New Orleans
I'll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
I'll miss you when I'm slipping in between
But if you wrap yourself in, in daffodils
I will wrap myself in pain, and oh
And if you're the Queen of California
Then, baby I am the King of the Rain
And I say

Good, goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight
Good, goodnight Elisabeth
The moon's a satellite, yeah

Now, won't you fall down on me now
Won't you fall down on me now
Come, come fall down on me now
Won't you fall down on me

'Cause I'm all alone
You ain't coming home
You just settle down, down, down, in to bone
Yeah I said I'm all alone
You ain't coming home
We just settle down, down, down, in to bone
