Goodbye To The Factory

Goodbye to the make-believe 
  Goodbye to the foundry 
  Long have you pumped oxygen 
  Into everything around me 
  If you saw the factory 
  You would know exactly 
  Time machines, fringe tame freeze 
  Which one can we reprieve? 
  We don't see it anymore 
  Not in this life, maybe yours 

  We'll not come home 
  We'll not touch ground 
  Take me to my favorite spot 
  And promise me they're still around 
  What's blown up, must come down 
  It seems a waste to grow so great 
  Just to be put in the ground 
  No, the earth will reject this now 

  Goodbye battle, paper thin 
  Money's thicker, market wins 
  Buy the boss a frosty drink 
  ?'s playing, hearts sink 
  Confectionary memories 
  Are all I have to guide me 
  Golden leaves, union dreams 
  What are these all worth without them? 
  We don't argue anymore 
  Not in this life, maybe yours 
  Our childhood toys 
  From the aisles made noise 
  Took them while the captor slept 
  Now with us they're kept 
  Oh, let 'em die 
  The world goes by 
  Their home's among the dawn poised and laid to fall 
  Without a thought at all 
  The earth will accept them large and small 

  Don't let it die, the world goes by 
  I love the cold for freezing time 
  What's the hurry?  Do you mind? 
  What goes up, must come down 
  It seems a waste to grow so great 
  Just to be pushed to the ground 
  The earth's gonna turn us down 
  There's another way out 

  It's all around 
  C'mon, c'mon, forward 
  Oh, c'mon, c'mon, everyone
