That's the Way It Always Goes

Red as the ocean, Green as the sky
I feel the rain's a comin' but it won't stop til every eye is dry
Blue like an emerald, Orange like a rose
The barometric pressure has dropped straight down to zero, I suppose
And there ain't no way around it, That's the way it always goes

Dull as a diamond, Bright as the tar
If this wind keeps a-howlin'
We'll have to figure out just where we are
Sharp like a circle, Loud as a frown
This world is topsy turvy and seems like everything is upside down
And from down here where I'm peekin'
That's the Way it just goes 'round

Space keeps expanding, can't find the key
This hurricane's a blowin', creating miles and days from you to me
How can we make it? Stung like a bee
If we survive this tempest, can we still find a way to just agree?
And it never gets too easy, Life ain't got no guarantee

Dry like a river, smooth like a rasp
I see a life vest comin'
But it just keeps on slippin' through my grasp
Keep pushin' forward, don't ever doze
You're stuck with what you're left with
You never get to keep the things you chose

And there ain't no way around it
That's the way it always goes
And there ain't no way around it
That's the way it always goes
