[Verse 1]
Willie you're my constant companion
You know the light and shade
We have spent a million dollars
To find out what we made
We have made the maidens marvel
At the things we do and say
Down, down and out brother
Up, up and away
[Chorus]
If you see me gettin' smaller, I'm leavin'
Don't be grievin'
Just gotta get away from here
If you see me gettin' smaller, don't worry
I'm in no hurry
I got a right to disappear
[Verse 2]
God bless Philadelphia
They were standin' in the rain
Out in front of the Main Point
A wet and lonely train
Who knows who they came to see?
A mad man full of beer
A four-piece pent and a charter bus
My borderline career
[Chorus]
If you see me gettin' smaller, I'm leavin'
Don't be grievin'
Just gotta get away from here
If you see me gettin' smaller, no worries
I'm in no hurry
I've got a right to disappear
[Outro]
I've got a right to disappear
I'll need to fade away
I've got a right to disappear
I'll need to fade away
I've got a right to disappear
I'll need to fade away
I've got a right to disappear
I'll need to fade away...
[Fade out]
