Action Design Tokyo Train
Even though
your letter began with "Hello"
and ended with "Love, Helena"
every single word meant
"I'll never see you again"
I hate to see you go
but too bad you're staying home
It's bon voyage this time
but you don't even seem to know
You make a bad day
much much worse and I'm tired
(tired of Helena)
You make a bad day so much worse
and I'm tired
(tired of you, Helena)
You left me on a Tokyo train
and you never looked back
You poured ink right on my stain
and you never looked back
Even though
your letter began with "Hello"
and ended with "Love, Helena"
I can read right through to
your boa constrictive ways
Goodbye, Helena
You're no good for my health
So goodbye Helena
goodbye, goodbye, bye
Goodbye, Helena
You're no good for my health
So goodbye Helena
goodbye, goodbye, bye
When it's late in the dark of night
I picture you hatching a plan
Convincing yourself
it's the right thing to do
So now you're pacing
sitting, typing, pacing,
reading aloud to an empty room
Crossing out with a red pen
typing some more
Where's that red pen now?
Goodbye
Goodbye, Helena
You're no good for my health
So goodbye Helena
goodbye, goodbye, bye
Goodbye, Helena
You're no good for my health
So goodbye Helena
goodbye, goodbye, bye
Goodbye, goodbye
goodbye, Helena
