Everybody knows
That it's just the way things go
Can't eliminate desire
That explains the sad expression
What it is I see over in the distance?
Something that I can't let go of
Its inside of mind
Its in front of my face
But needless to say I'm motionless
Take me home, take me home
I am your burden you have to bear
When I shut my eyes I don't need sentiment
Its something I could do without
But we all have to abide
Everybody knows
That it's just the way things go
What is it I hear through this deafening silence?
The fortune teller error is near
The worst is yet to come
And there's nothing here at all
That I or anybody else can do
Take me home, take me home
I am your burden you have to bear
When I shut my eyes
I don't need sentiment
Its something I could do without
But we all have to abide
By these terms
Working a frightful nightshift
Were just working a frightful nightshift
Everybody knows
That it's just the way things go
Can't eliminate desire
That explains the sad expression
Everybody knows
That it's just the way things go
Can't eliminate desire
That explains the sad expression
Ohh it's just the way things go
Can't eliminate desire
That explains the sad expression
