Goodbye Pluto Lyrics by Vance Gilbert

Up On Rockfield

0

[Verse 1]
Goodbye Pluto
So long to your tradition
And your solo life's ambition
Of just whirling 'round the sun
Goodbye Pluto
Being number nine was nice
'Til you lost your planetary status
Now you're simply rock and ice
There are eight that spin before you
And they use up all the rays
That the sun gives to her children
To turn the night to day
So goodbye Pluto
I know it doesn't seem quite fair
Three thousand million miles away
And God just leaves you there

[Chorus]
And I think I understand
When the spin gets out of hand
Sometimes all that's left
Is how to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
Goodbye Pluto
All this bidding you adiеu
Ah, but both of us know better
That your orbiting ain't through
Nevеr mind them, Pluto
With one roll around the sun
Two hundred fifty years go by
And when that year is done
By that time Pluto
They'll be dead and gone to dust
Taking their equations with them
Their opinions gone to rust

[Chorus]
And I think I understand
When the spin gets out of hand
Sometimes all that's left
Is how to say goodbye

[Verse 3]
Goodbye old me
You were useful while you lasted
Now I'm dropping off that bastard
That kept springtime out of reach
Farewell, you old familiar
As you track your way through space
There comes a time when all of us
Are done and get replaced
So goodbye Pluto
You'll be salty for a while
But a couple trips around old Sol and
You'll be back in style

[Chorus]
And I think I understand
When the spin gets out of hand
Sometimes all that's left
Is how to say goodbye
Sometimes all that's left
Is how to say goodbye
