My oh my what do we have here
|
A world of trouble, a world of fear
|
And no-where safe you can disappear to
|
No long and winding road
|
|
John-Boy don't wanna work no more
|
So he sits and stares at the bathroom floor
|
Where the tiles collide with the lonely walls
|
That hold his fear inside
|
|
Convinced now that all that was wrong is right
|
His imagination has taken flight
|
So he turns the key that unlocks his life
|
And he takes himself within
|
|
He goes there and back again, right there ? he goes there
|
|
Sheila G had known many men
|
She decided one day she'd go and see 'em again
|
She chased down nine from a likely ten
|
There was one that got away
|
|
Well they all lived such bright and happy lives
|
Said since she left everything had gone right
|
She thought she would find they were broken men
|
That only she could mend
|
|
Well from that day forward she changed her life
|
She was a ghostly shadow with a face so white
|
Said she'd never again try to tempt her fate
|
'Cos sometimes you're just too late
|
|
To go there and back again, she went there and back again
|
She went there ? right there
|
|
Well you and me well we'll always be
|
Considering our place in infinity
|
As we look back on scenes of eternity, and laugh
|
|
'Cos time does such cruel and wicked things
|
Makes you change your conceptions and shed your skin
|
'Til you don't who you are or where you've been
|
|
But I know one thing and I know it well
|
It's a sorry soul who's no tale to tell
|
When evening falls and we reminisce
|
Saying is that all there is?
|
We go there and back again, right there ? we go there
|
|
It's a case of been there, done that yeah...
|
It's all experience along the way ? where ya been ? things ya seen.
|
It all comes down ? number one ? I'd do it all again ? I'd do it all again, I been there, done that yeah...
