Bye-bye Baby, So Long

By Malcholm Dark

My friends have suggested to me, that I find a priest
Or get away from you and that house at the very least.
Things between us are not going so well
I've married a demon, a demon from Hell.
So I packed my belongings and started the car
My thoughts become focused on all places afar.
--My toothbrush is gone now, my closets are bare
I am out of here woman, you can color me gone.
--The rest of my life will be lived without care
hear that door close behind me...           
                        bye-bye baby, so long!



This is the end my dearest, no ifs, ands or buts this time
You have worn me ragged, broken my will, my heart, my mind.
I have taken from you more than any man should have to take
The gas tank is full and I will be long gone when you awake.
My tires are burning up black-top, I am well into my get-away
Do not look for the dog, for he is with me and have a nice day!
--My toothbrush is gone now, my closets are bare 
I am out of here woman, you can color me gone.
--The rest of my life will be lived without care
hear that door close behind me...           
                        bye-bye baby, so long!


She is the coldest of cold, my iceberg baby
Her warmth was put on hold, my icecube lady.
She curses my sleep, even when she's not there
My blood pressure is high, I am losing my hair.
The miles fall behind us, I am in a state of bliss
And the dog has never been quite so happy as this.
--My toothbrush is gone now, my closets are bare
I am out of here woman, you can color me gone.
--The rest of my life will be lived without care
hear that door close behind me...           
                        bye-bye baby, so long!


Yes, my old Chevy is hot and the wheels are on fire
Distance between us grows as the engine revs higher!
But as thoughts of us unfold, I play her favorite tape
And I close all the windows as the dog tries to escape.
Now for reasons unknown, I have turned that car around
The dog looks at me funny and makes a whimpering sound.
--My toothbrush is back now and we make quite a pair
I have come back to you woman, no more will I roam
--Though the rest of my life will be lived in despair
hear that door close behind me...                
                              hello baby, I'm home!


And now, at last you awake without even saying hello
You begin ragging on me because the gas gauge is low.
And like the demon you are, your yelling can't wait
The dog is out front and I get blamed for the gate.
As you storm off for work like a horse at the races
The dog and I wave good-bye, sad looks on our faces.
--It's not hard to comprehend that life will remain shitty 
I see horns on your head, a place where evil must dwell. 
--An accident on the way to work, life then would be giddy  
until that time I remain...                   
                                with my demon from Hell!

    HAHAHAHA I can't BELIEVE he went BACK! Damn the suffering! Every verse so descriptive I felt like I was helping him pack and riding in that Chevy with him and the dog. And believe me when I say the dog and I had the same look on our faces when you turned that wheel around. I was kinda hoping with that remark about an accident on the way to work...that just maybe...hopefully...you like, cut the brake line o.O Doesn't that make me a terrible person!! Oh my gosh! Well I hope you and the dog enjoy the peace while she is gone. (P.S. you may want to correct the very last last "from" instead of "form". I imagine you were typing excitedly! LOL)

    Hehehe nice write Malcholm. You always make me smile with pieces like this. The last line was great! But I think the word "form" was supposed to be "from". Awesome work though. :)
