That's How It Goes

You got a wake-up call
but you're pushing the snooze,
you didn't make it through

You've got a non-stop
streak of the blues
and they're getting to you

You wanna take a long drop
off a high-top building baby?
You shouldn't have to think twice
because everything nice was coming to you
To you!

That's how it goes, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That's how it goes, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That's how it goes, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That's how it goes, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That's how it goes baby...

You cut loose like a bird on a wire
after praying to Jesus
Like a crack in the curtain and you're
peeking your eyes and you see her,
yes you can see her!

Is that something you should be looking at
here in the darkness?
Like so many things I know I should do
I should be with you...

That's how it goes, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That's how it goes, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh that's how it goes baby,

You're looking so hip,
biting your lip with hair in your face
Give me another taste
of your chocolate space cakes
So I can be there too, with you

Oh, did you ever think
you and me could make it this far
now baby?

Ooo, you, you took this disgrace
and put me back into place, you know?
You know...

That's how it goes, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That's how it goes, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That's how it goes baby... la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That's how it goes, yeah... la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
That's how it goes baby, baby, baby! la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
...how it goes... la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
