Chorus

——————

Ain’t that the way it goes

can’t catch a break when you need it most 

Are you chasin’ paper, are you chasin’ girls

Are you chasin’ dreams

Ain’t that the way it goes

can’t catch a break when you need it most 

Are you chasin’ paper, are you chasin’ girls

Are you chasin’ dreams

Verse 1

—————

I met this taxi man 

sellin’ his soul at the taxi stand 

bleedin’ sweat just to feed the fam’

I told him ‘We ain’t so different man’

Baby girl want that KFC

Baby boy wanna do B.Sc

Baby mama want some cinema seats

to watch a little movie, now ain’t that sweet

but if he ain’t got the cash

then that’s all in trash 

so he’s workin’ on the downtime 

tryin’ to pay the upline 

Just get by 

and that’s a fact 

‘til he had his first

heart attack 

Chorus

—————

Ain’t that the way it goes 

Can’t catch a break when you need it most 

Give it all you got and come so close

light a candlelight, then the wind blows 

Ain’t that the way it goes

can’t catch a break when you need it most 

Are you chasin’ paper, are you chasin’ girls

Are you chasin’ dreams

Verse 2

—————-

These lights so bright

and I’ll be burning bright to forget my stage fright

forget anything anyone once said 

forget that the bills still ain’t paid 

I got a million fans 

screaming in my head, not in the stands 

that’s the price you pay when you make a stand

they say “Sex Sells Baby, don’t you understand?”

But I’m chasin’ dreams 

run so hard I might burst at the seams 

of all the things that I wish I had 

One person who’d understand

Chorus

—————

Ain’t that the way it goes

can’t catch a break when you need it most 

knock on the door but it still stay closed

til you fall to your knees crying “Almost’

Ain’t that the way it goes

can’t catch a break when you need it most 

Are you chasin’ paper, are you chasin’ girls

Are you chasin’ dreams

Verse 3

—————

There’s always a price 

some of what you choose ain’t even a choice

she said “Baby, don’t cry. I’ll make the pain alright”

She took my heart on that moonless night 

Led me on to virtue’s defeat 

Both saints and sinners blur into the beat 

and ambrosia flows like liquid gold 

I sate her lust, she starve my soul

Lost in her neon eyes, I lost sight

all I thought was wrong had now become right

standing one step  from the fires of hell

but it beats the cold… oh well 

Chorus

—————

Ain’t that the way it goes

can’t catch a break when you need it most 

Are you chasin’ paper, are you chasin’ girls

Are you chasin’ dreams

Ain’t that the way it goes 

can’t catch a break when you need it most 

did you chase your paper anywhere it blows 

did you catch your dreams?

A pretty girl smiled 

at the waiter today

you should have seen his face

it was sunrise all over again 

Tragedy’s a thief,

lurking in the dark,

waiting for a chance 

to strike into your heart 

I have a million little bees 

swarming behind my eyes

in each is carved a name 

the victim of a crime 

Some are called martyrs

Others forgotten by time

Some who should be kings 

Others have no coin 

Each night I go to sleep

tortured by their sting 

I can’t escape the bees 

even in my dreams 

But when I find a pen 

and try to sing their grief 

they disappear like smoke 

Finally I breathe 

I have…

precious little time 

and yet I whittle it away

with acrid puffs of tar

Fatigue…

the words recede from me 

like rats or roaches from the sunlight

perhaps despairing or disgusted 

at the need for applause and approval…

I am tired.
