Go Away
Hi-Lo & In Between Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

When you see me smile
Stay with me awhile
Head the little toy men
Fed from the empty bin
Fade into my dust
Need, become the rust
Sing to the lonely choir
Near the raging fire
Oh ooo oh ooo, I
I think they never stayed
I think I never played
I think you never prayed
I think the middle's frayed
I think my debt's repaid
And I think, with a little luck
It'd all go away
Form a beautiful fleet
Wash my dancing feet
Ache for me to stay
Make me go away
Oh ooo ooo ooo, I
I think they never stayed
I think I never played
I think you never prayed
I think the middle's frayed
I think it's all we laid




And I think, with a little luck
It'd all go away
