The universe is against me & The earth will forget me & The ground on which i stand Will be turned be into sand That's the way it goes There is no need for panic Even though the things i love will vanish & If i am to die before you Just let the world know: That's the way it goes (it blows) & I'm prone to downward spirals Like a shadow cast upon sundials & When the circle is completed I will laugh as if i dreamed it That's the way it goes (and goes & goes & goes) & Though i know that i'm not fading & I'm way too young to be jaded I brush it off & face the sunshine & It shines on me That's the way it goes (and goes & goes & ghost)
