No Masters No Gods No Curfews

Goodbye, goodbye Mama.
Can’t you hear that engine purr?
There’s a car in the drive
and a girl waiting inside.
I’m going away to live with her.

Our love has broken every limit
and nothing can hold me now that I’m in it.
So goodbye Mama, I know you’ll agree:
there are no masters, no gods, and no curfews –
and a boy’s got to make his destiny.

Goodbye my lover.
I’ve spent five long years with you.
I tried to keep your heart
from breaking apart
but I could not be the glue.

Our love has broken every limit
but like a game with no rules
I just couldn’t win it.
So goodbye my lover, I wish you well.
But there are no masters, no gods, and no curfews
and no reason for us to live in hell.

Goodbye my friends.
Tonight I’m staying at home.
I need to return
to myself and relearn
what it’s like being happy alone.

My love has broken every limit
but it’s so hard to keep on living within it.
I’ve been weakened by Love’s flame.
There are no masters, no gods, and no curfews
but I feel so tired just the same.
