Goodnite Irene - Pere Ubu

Treat me like a carnival rain king

Who blew apart in his own hurricane

He’s laughin' loud, a fool on a hill

Who should know better, but he never will

It’s my calling

And I’m falling

Driven by the will of the wind

I know it

And I know it

It’s my calling

And I’m falling

Driven by the will of the wind

I know it

And I know it

Treat me like a king bee

Buggin' round in a hollow tree

He’s living high on borrowed time

Intoxicated by the sound of his own crying

It’s my calling

And I’m falling

Driven by the will of the wind

I know it

And I know it

It’s my calling

Had I fought it

Driven by the will of the wind

I know it

And I know it

Goodnight, Irene

I see you in my dreams

I play the part you know so well

Long live

Carnival rain king

King bee

The king of Mars

They’re all like me

Treat me like the king of Mars

He fell to Earth and ended up behind bars

He tried to live in a one horse town

His breaking heart tore the whole place down

It’s my calling

And I’m falling

Driven by the will of the wind

I know it

And I know it

It’s my calling

And I’m falling

Driven by the will of the wind

I know it

And I know it
