Lyrics Billy Tallent - How It Goes

Everybody is tired and poor and sick of trying
If you see me on the corner
Will you stop or will you splash me?
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family on a postcard
Picture perfect, I don't want it!

So I hold my breath til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes

Shitty weather, bad timing
Lucky penny glued to the ground
Dirty look from total stranger
Hope you get lost and you're not found
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family on a postcard
Picture perfect, I don't want it!

So I hold my breath til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it...

This is, how it, it goes,
This is, how it, it goes,
This is, how it, it goes,
This is, how it, it goes!

So unscrew my head and rinse it out,
Polish my thoughts, turn into doubts,
Unscrew my head and rinse it out,
Polish my thoughts, turn into doubts,
Turn them into, turn them into doubts!

So I hold my breath til my heart explodes
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
