lyrics

Gin and cigarettes, light up the night life
A crowd of marionettes dance in a cage
We scratch at pure lust, like feral finites
Never trust or really feel or turn the page

That’s how it goes, how it goes, how it goes
Everybody really knows, really knows, really knows
It’s spiraling way out of control
We try to hide it but it shows

To spend love freely, profits the spirit
To use it up so selfishly dries up the soul
From the castle down to the poor man
Loves the heart beat, loves the center, loves the goal

That’s how it goes, how it goes, how it goes
Everybody really knows, really knows, really knows
It’s spiraling way out of control
We try to hide it but it shows

Temptation’s teeth are sharp
With a mouth of foam
Yeah it’s hard down here because we are not yet home
We’re all wanderers under a starry dome
Our eyes betray us here but our soul knows where to go
We’re Geppetto’s child, we are not yet whole
We’re all prodigals, call me Pinocchio
There’s a place ahead, no map or chart can show
We light up the dark, so all the world can know

That’s how it goes, how it goes, how it goes
Everybody really knows, really knows, really knows
It’s spiraling way out of control
We try to hide it but it shows

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah-oh
