Goodbye Lyrics

Aunt Mary was given two weeks to live

So I handed her my very favorite book

And she said, What is this shit

If I'm gonna spend my final hours reading this

It better be fantastic, better be fantastic

Tom sang Don't Worry

Elle smoked and cleaned

It was Thanksgiving but it felt like Halloween

We could have used some scripture

Or a burning bush on high

Cause nobody knows how to say goodbye

Well I was in the Texas town of El Paso when she finally passed

And we were passing a joint and the phone rang and a pigeon hit the glass

So I stepped outside into the Barrio

You know the one they ran I-10 through

Now it's just a bunch of fences, pit bulls, and a church with one pew

So we came back inside and we decided

We needed to scrounge up an offering of some kind

But all we could find

Was coffee beans, tequila, lemon

We put 'em on a plate

The day Mary passed away

And then we made a big bowl of guacamole

And we stuck a candle right there in the center

And we lit, we made a wish, and we put our hands together

Someone sing Stir It Up

Someone blow that kazoo

Please do something

So there's something to do

If I wasn't such a man

Then maybe I could cry

But nobody knows how to say goodbye
