Well the rain falls and the puddles splash
And the old man claims that the world is flat
Theres piles of papers and lines of liars
Empty cans and tires have been thrown in the fires,
And we all continue on
Watching the world as it passes on
Bye and bye the blue birds sing
Bye and bye I'll see you in my dreams,
Faces watch through the window panes
Wishing they had the money to dream
And they all frown and scorn
For they lost the roses and got left with the thorns,
And we all continue forward
Making our way through this endless world
Bye and bye with a ring on a string
Bye and bye all the bastards sing.
Its twenty miles to the next stop
But we're out of gas and its too far to walk
So I'll sit and think about my home
And lie to myself when I'm all alone,
But we all continue on
On a frozen lake I saw a golden swan
Bye and bye it said to me
Bye and bye Im no longer free.
So now I peddle on down the road
Like this old man I'll come rolling home
And I'll call you when I make St.Louis
But its still so far and theres many miles between us,
But I'll continue on
And make my way through the haunted swamp
Bye and bye I say to no mans land
Bye and bye can I still be your man

I loved these lyrics until here, "On a frozen lake I saw a golden swan
Bye and bye it said to me
Bye and bye Im no longer free.
So now I peddle on down the road
Like this old man I'll come rolling home
And I'll call you when I make St.Louis
But its still so far and theres many miles between us,
But I'll continue on
And make my way through the haunted swamp
Bye and bye I say to no mans land
Bye and bye can I still be your man"
Besides that ending, which I didn't feel went well with the rest, I really think this could be a hit if set with the right music and the ending fixed. Really nicely done. I'm jealous.

Hm...
I like it. It's interesting. It has a interesting picture on life. Great job. Good luck.
