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)
