Going Going Gone Richard Hell and the Voidoids

I just reached a place
Where the willow don’t bend
There’s not much more to be said
It’s the time for the end
I’m going
I’m going
I’m gone

I’m closing the book
On the pages and the text
And I don’t really care
What happens next
I’m going
I’m going
I’m gone

I been hanging on the steps
And I've been playing it straight
But I just gotta go
Before it gets late
I’m going
I’m going
I’m gone

Elmo said, “Boy, don't follow your heart
I knew you'd be fine at the end of the line
And all that’s gold doesn't shine
Don’t you and your one true love ever part”
