Gone Gone Gone

So I'm running to you
You're on the way back from down the fabulous premiere
The Shebelle, just old black clothes
Newly colored fake black hair

You look me over
Like maybe I might be okay every now and then
Man, you tell me 'bout that groovy down town
I just did your fame and its new best friend
He's getting 10 signed originals
None writing your environmental fund

I used to fall for it all
Now I'm gone gone gone

You've got a book tour
And there's a bidding war for your latest screenplay rights
Your subs are here
And the leaf work's gonna land you a feature in the Times

You throw out the book you're reading
Something about empathy
You say your heart is all so very open
Now we can love so completely
And your kid's the most multi-dimensional child
His teachers ever known

I used to fall for it all
Now I'm gone gone gone

Of course your knowledge is perfection
But you miss bound on the side
'Cause you're entitled to some extracurricular fun at night

Your love, it punctuates his words
With his fists on the walls beside your head
He needs to express his feelings
That's what you said he said and you believed that

You used to run pretty good con
With young terrible types than me
I watched you lie to everyone
But you'd never lie to me

'Cause I knew I was all the things you said
More special than anyone
Until someone more useful to me came along
And you and I were done
And now you're on the prowl for something new
Naive, sweet and dumb

I used to fall for it all
Now I'm gone gone gone
