Bocephus King - The Way the Story Goes lyrics
"I'm headed back along the coast Accompanied by Ma Rainey's ghost We had ourselves a little toast And here's to getting better It's later than you think my friend And pretty soon you at the end And there's no celebration For the ones with hesitation This is only just a glimpse You've only got your fingerprints They call it insignificance And brother, they ain't lying Forget the gravitation pull Movies are the miracle And while those reels are playing You'll forget that you're decaying The piper's at the gates of dawn He's playing dirges, not a song In a finger snap, we'll all be gone And not a tree will miss us Everyone you ever knew Could die and wouldn't make page two There's thousands disappearing Without anybody hearing, but... That's the way that the story goes That's the way the story goes You give your money to the poor What are all the savings for? Your fingers must get really sore From counting all the pennies On your deathbed making bets And tying up those last regrets When your priest is finished listening A newborn baby he'll be christening I'm headed back along the coast Accompanied by Ma Rainey's ghost We raised our glass and had a toast Said, "Here's to having been here" Even if this story bores you Mr. Death is coming for you It's just yourself you're tricking Clocks around the world are ticking That's the way that story goes That's the way the story goes I tell ya, that's the way the story goes." |
