[Verse 1]
Let the tube lights buzz overhead
Tell the papers that you’re dead
You’d want them to be the first to know
Gone down where the goblins go
[Verse 2]
Head down, headed for the curtain call
I’m the last to try to break your fall
Last high tide before the undertow
Gone down where the goblins go
[Chorus]
If I had as much money as I could spend
I never would cry
I never would choose to mend
[Verse 3]
There’s no kingdom, there’s no road
Just old sets where faulty flash pots explode
Head out to the sidewalk
On with the show
Gone down where the goblins go
Gone down where the goblins go
[Chorus]
If I had as much money as I could spend
I never would cry
I never would choose to mend
[Verse 4]
There’s no kingdom, there’s no road
Just old sets where faulty flash pots explode
Head out to the sidewalk
On with the show
Gone down where the goblins go
Gone down where the goblins go
