Supertramp – Goodbye Stranger Lyrics 14 years ago
People really?

Its not like that.

Its about a stranger, that tries to tell him the "right" way to live.

Read it:

Goodbye stranger, it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true

Paradise: (christian) where all believers end up,
tried to see your view: tried to follow didn't work,
hope: no hard feelings

The goodbye mary goodbye janes mean that he is saying goodbye to women he has been with but uses those names as a pun to reference to drugs, therefore goodbye mary, a woman he slept with and jane another as well as drugs.

He is saying this in a mockery.

He is choosing a "sinful" happy life with sex and drugs over what the stranger tried to tell him.
