You took the last bus over
to the place where the asphalt meets the sky
it's trading gold for silver
ain't it funny how there's nothing enough money can't buy
and you won't look over your shoulder
cuz you were never really one for a long goodbye
when you were seven once you tried to make yourself cry
watching lights going out from the fireflies
I could never seem to keep it all inside

You took the last bus over
to the place where the asphalt meets the sky
its only gold for silver
ain't it funny how there's nothing enough money won't buy
And I won't look over my shoulder
cuz my entire life's been one big long goodbye
sitting at the top of the stairs I used to hear my mom cry
watching lights from the planes as they fly by
ain't it funny how the time just flies by


You took the last bus over
to the place where the asphalt meets the sky
its only gold for silver
ain't it funny how there's nothing enough money won't buy
and I won't look over my shoulder
And you were never really what you call satisfied
always looking out the corners of your rolling eyes
I remember when a little part of you died
and I don't ever want to see that look in your eyes again

So fly away my friend
your eyes again
fly away my friend
your eyes again
fly away my friend
your eyes again
fly away my friend
your eyes again
fly away my friend
your eyes again
fly away my friend
your eyes again
fly away my friend
