This Is How It Goes

This is how it goes

You'll get angry at yourself

And think you can think of something else

And I'll hear the clanging of the bells

Cause I can't stop you baby...



Cause I don't have the bribery in place

No bright shiny surface to my face

So I won't go near the market place

With what I'm selling lately

Cause this is how it goes--



Chorus:

Cause it's all about drugs

It's all about shame

And whatever they want--

Don't tell 'em your name



This is how it goes:

One more failure to connect

With so many how could I object?

And you--what on earth did you expect?

Well, I can't tell you, baby

When this is how it goes



(Chorus)



So I'll try to hold on

While you try to let go

You won't tell me it's gone--

But, baby, I'll know

Baby, I'll know

Baby, I'll know
