You'll Know a Good Thing (When It's Gone) Songtext
von Tears in X-ray Eyes

To tears of happiness
To the side of a hi-fi cabinet
I was born for greater things

Outdated, irrelevant
Fenced in by gravel and elephant grass
I will shed my skin

These fingers, these bones
They′re all I've ever known
They′re all I've ever known
Don't wait for me, don′t phone
I won′t be coming home
I won't be coming home


When love dies, like roses
When the final whistle blows it′s time
To pack up and move on

You're twisted, pale and crooked
I′m tall, dark and not bad looking
You'll know a good thing when it′s gone

These fingers, these bones
They're all I've ever known
They′re all I′ve ever known
Don't wait for me, don′t phone
I won't be coming home
I won′t be coming home

You'll know a good thing when it′s gone
You'll know a good thing when it's gone
