Goodbye, Columbus Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My friend, the clever one
She lets me borrow Goodbye, Columbus
We eat pizza that I pull the cheese off
Outside Columbia U
Waiting to hear Roth talk on his seventy-fifth birthday
I notice her toes, crooked on her feet from beating the soles

[Chorus 1]
My God
How I can't keep up with her
Her i's and j's are missin' dots
And I am missin' her

[Verse 2]
We walk along the bridge, inner-city castaways
Always moving forward this wreckage for history
Looking back at the damage we do by inches
Only to have the wool run slack over our eyes

[Chorus 1]
My God
How I can't keep up with her
Her i's and j's are missing dots
And I am

[Chorus 2]
My God
How I can't follow her where she is gone
Past the bar where the water runs rough And I am missing her

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 1]
My God
How I can't keep up with her
Her i's and j's are missing dots
And I am

[Chorus 2]
My God
How I can't follow her where she is gone
Past the bar where the water runs rough
And I am missing her

[Outro]
(My God)
I am missing her (How I can't keep up with her)
(Her i's and j's are missing dots)
(My God)
I am missing her (How I can't follow her where she is gone)
(Past the bar where the water runs rough)

[Break]

[Outro]
I still look for her
Lying on a beach
Directly over our heads
And she says nothing
She is the color of the moon
She holds a harp at her side and moves
One hand, now and again
In slow arpeggios
In slow arpeggios
