Blanche – So Long Cruel World lyrics

Folks, you'd think I'd be happy and delighted
'Cause all my dreams are finally coming true
But did I mention all my dreams are nightmares
In my head, I feel a storm's about to brew

The clouds are hovering a mean blue and purple
No sunshine in my life anymore
The spirits are creeping 'round every corner
I'm petrified but I'm unlocking my door

So long cruel world
(So long cruel world)
Dear Mother goodbye
(Dear Mother goodbye)

These are the only words I say before I die
I want an old man priest and a stormy day
But don't waste money on a casket
I don't deserve a grave

Just cut out my organs
Give 'em to the barely living
Turn my body into ashes
And pray my soul's forgiven

So long cruel world
(So long cruel world)
Oh me, oh my
(Oh me, oh my)

Time is come to pay for what I've done
So goodbye, goodbye

I hear the crackling of the thunder
And though my name's not on the list
I'll sport a sharkskin and a splash of aqua vulva
I'll do a dance of death, give me that kiss

So long cruel world
(So long cruel world)
Oh me, oh my
(Oh me, oh my)

Oh lo, oh lo, oh lo
(Oh lo, oh lo, oh lo)
Oh lee, oh lee
(Goodbye goodbye)

So long cruel world
Oh me, oh my
The time is come to pay for what I've done
So goodbye, goodbye
