Opening Remarks

Cover your ears if you can’t hear the news
This is the only song I’ll write for you
Can’t call your lawyer, you can’t point and blame, I can
Tell everything without calling your name
Just go away, just go away
Go find another to torture today
Just go away, leave me in peace
Give me a new life oh, give me release

Cover your eyes if you don’t want to see
I’ve got new projects to keep me busy
You can listen so close to that drill bit roar, as
I’m changing the locks on my front and back door
To keep you away, keep you away
Go find a new source of human prey
To keep you away, far from my door
Stopping the start of a third world war

Let’s divide all our things, all the dishes and spoons
Books and our albums and all our I-tunes
All the places we went, all the folks that we knew
You can have them all back if you’ll just go too

Cover your mouth if you don’t want to speak
You’ll be out of my memory before next week
Why should I bother to call you to mind
Why should you take any more of my time
Soon you’ll be gone, soon you’ll be gone
You’ll tell all your friends that you did nothing wrong
Soon you’ll be gone, I’ll celebrate
My only regret is that you left too late
