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 marketplace With what I'm selling lately Cause this is how it goes Cause it's all about drugs, it's all about shame And whatever they want Don't tell them 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 Cause it's all about drugs, it's all about shame And whatever they want, don't tell them your name

So I 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 Baby I'll know
