This Is How It Goes

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

'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

[Verse 3]

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]

'Cause it's all about drugs

It's all about shame

And whatever they want

Don't tell 'em your name

[Outro]

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
