Soviet Jesus Choir - Why Did You Go Lyrics

Why did you go
Were you the lead
Or were you the follow
And didn't you think
Of your lover who you left all alone

And why did you stay
For such a long time
If there was no one to keep you
Safe from your own mind
When all that you did was just swing from a vine

And oh what a waste
Of this perfectly good song
To spend it on someone
Who got it all wrong
And if you were here
Would you think that I'm right

And why did you go
Death aint like stepping
Outside for a smoke
But I guess you know
Far better than any who still have their home

And I wish I knew
You better than
Just that young boy in a suit
I could have helped
God knows I tied that rope enough times my self

And oh what a waste
Of this perfectly good song
To spend it on someone
Who got it all wrong
And if you were here
Would you think that I'm right

Why did you Go
You walked out
On the worst part of a very long show
And this part I know
That you'd have been more than just a lost broke

Oh what a shame
And all theres to do is
Just play it again
You in that tree
From high in the sky the world must have seemed like a dream

And oh what a waste
Of this perfectly good song
To spend it on someone
Who got it all wrong
And if you were here
Would you think that I'm right

But you're not
You stepped into the night
Or maybe you walked
Through the light
It don't matter
Cause you lost your life

Why did you go
