Going Away Lyrics

Please don't forget me, I'm going away
I'm taking a taxi to Kentucky, where they don't need to know
All about me
I just need to feel safe
I've got a thousand sweaters and shoes and paintings to hide
Skeletons in my way(Don't ask where) I'm going
I'm going away, I'm going my way
Finally, it's my time to be lonely and lost, unloved
And I can't wait
Don't forget what I said
Don't forget my letter
Every night I pray for you
I don't got a religion
Isn't that something?
I miss those daysI—I saved that bottle, it's now ten years aged
I've got some baubles I could sell for money
And a pair of fresh-shaved legs
Won't you, baby, come with me?

I've got extra space
In my car, in my heart, in my mind,
Look, there's the passenger seat by the postcards you gave(Don't know where) I'm going
I'm going away, I'm going my way
Finally, it's my time to be lonely and lost, unloved
And I can't wait
Don't forget what I said
Don't forget my letter
Every night I pray for you
I don't got a religion
Isn't that something?
I miss those daysI—But he said, "Slow down, slow down.
Think it over; we've all got wretched closets,
But silly girl pride kills more than AIDS (lately)."
I said, "Come on.
I've thought it over, I don't wanna die here.
I've no desire to get married."I can't race the others anymore
No, I must learn to race myselfI'm going away, I'm going my way
Finally, it's my time to be lonely and lost, unloved
And I can't wait
Please forget what I said (I'll find my way)
Please forget my letter
Every night I pray for you
I don't got a religion
Isn't that something?
I miss those daysI'm—
I'm—Not going halfway (I'll find my way)I—
I—Every night I pray for you
Don't believe in Heaven
Or that it could be a happy placeI—I'm going away.
