Goodbye is No Surprise

sometimes you gotta break inside because the times demand it, but that's ok, you see
you can be broken more times than the 9th commandment, and still walk away
humiliation only comes when you got no humility
treating sleeping beauty like some kind of utility
leaving lost love standing drenched in futility
from a raindance that he did
back when he was just a little kid
mapped the tracks of all his days
you can't be surprised that it ended this way

because goodbye is no surprise
like how sometimes where yr true heart lies is
life is full of fine surprises but
goodbye is no surprise

sometimes you gotta make yr mind up in the worst conditions, but that's ok, you see
you'll  rarely go wrong going along w/yr worst suspicions, 'cause sometimes crime pays
the cost controlled by just how much you want
and just how many houses yr willing to haunt
as the old hand takes on the debutante
w/a raindance for an excuse
to hang his dreams from a stranger's noose
mapping  the tracks of the facts of these days
you can't be surprised that it ended this way    

because goodbye is no surprise
like how sometimes where yr true heart lies is
life is full of fine surprises but
goodbye is no surprise



dig if you can, a tunnel to connect yr conflicting drives
you can't be yrself when you're like someone else and this is what it sounds like when love dies ................
