Goodbye Venus

Hey now girl I know what you mean to say
That you want the freedom you want to go away
So here I stand with my bleeding heart so red
You’ve found your passion to somewhere else you’ve been led
Round the world
Toward the sky
Past the stars
You would fly

What’s the use of staying here when you’re done?
She says she’s in love but I’m not the one
She told me so

So it’s goodbye Venus she’s gone to sail the seas
But she still makes me trip just like I’m on LSD

And even now she flashes back
Together we were on a track
To nowhere fast is what she said
I’m gone while you’re stuck in your ways
It’s time for a change everyday
She told me so

What’s the use of staying here when you’re done?
She says she’s in love but I’m not the one
She told me so
