Here on the stage, the time has come
With the strings of 'be my angel', of rocking 2/4
Time may keep alive
That old swan song
That we've been playing forever
'Til the time may be right to say 'goodbye'
My voice is aching
I'm tongue-tied
And the sounds we are making are so old

Goodnight song, played so wrong
Blame the crowd, they screamed so loud so long

It's an honest day
Take the best of me and then the rest let go
In every situation where there's tireless rage
Step outside the cage
And let the real fool show
I should have stayed 'round to break the ice
I thought about it once or twice
But nothing ever changes
Unless there's some pain

And our goodnight song, played so wrong,
Blame the crowd, they screamed so loud so long
Goodnight song, played so wrong
Blame the crowd, they screamed so loud, so long
