Lyrics Farewell My Old Friend - The Cog is Dead

Farewell My Old Friend

Farewell my old friend.
It seems this is the end
You thought you were invincible you fool
We’ll have another round as we put you in the ground
Farewell my old friend, farewell
Well you were self assured with pride, but not much going on inside
Crooked grin and glassy-eyed, a model man indeed!
Always had a stupid scheme, to build some crazy new machine
Assured us it would be a scream, and most of us agreed!
(Hey!)
Well man was never born with wings, still you built that stupid thing
Out of rubber bands and strings — paraded it around!
People said it wouldn’t fly, they warned you, «Man, you’re gonna die!»
But still you said you had to try and crashed it in the ground!
So farewell my old friend.
It seems this is the end
You thought you were invincible you fool
Let’s have another round as we put you in the ground
Farewell my old friend, farewell
Always living on the edge, but not much sense inside your head
We always knew you’d end up dead — some things are meant to be
And even though your life was short, the way you’d revel and cavort
We’d always get a laugh and snort — you gave us all such glee!
(Hey!)
Inventors, yes the world has got, but one of them, well you were not
But still you gave it your best shot — we never saw ya frown!
You made a lot of shoddy stuff, you tried for things extremely tough
And even when it all got rough, it never got you down!
So farewell my old friend.
It seems this is the end
You thought you were invincible you fool
Let’s have another round as we put you in the ground
Farewell my old friend, farewell
Too-ra-lee, Too-ra-lum
Toodaloo!
Boy you were so dumb!
Farewell my old friend.
It seems this is the end
You thought you were invincible you fool
Let’s have another round as we put you in the ground
Farewell my old friend, farewell.
(Farewell)
