So It Goes

Trying to get a record on the radio
And a kiss from a girl that everybody knows
I won't tell you how but it all went south
And the whole wide world was watching

Woke up in the morning with a crazy head
And a job to do - Like I had any choice

But the truth is the sun was just too shiny
And the day was just too bright
I was on my own kind of highway
I had to leave it all behind

Songs had to be sung
Bells had to be rung
Things had to be done - I guess
Lies had to be told
Lives had to be sold
Not everyone's intentions
Are always the best

And so it goes
So it goes

Running with the vipers on the mean streets
With deadlines to meet
And cocktails at the finest establishments
Waking in a doorway in a cold sweat
To a clip-clop serenade
Another world Another life
Inches away

But the truth is the sun was just too shiny
And the day was just too bright
I was on my own kind of highway
I had to leave it all behind

Songs had to be sung
Bells had to be rung
Things had to be done - I guess
Lies had to be told
Lives had to be sold
Not everyone's intentions
Are always the best

And so it goes
So it goes

Trying to get a record on the radio
And a kiss from a girl that everybody knows
I won't tell you how but it all went south
And the whole wide world was watching
