I haven't had a dry night in longer than I can remember Made more allowance for decadence than I should admit Every secret I swallowed like cyanide Ended up rotting me out from the inside I always knew it would end this way I had a master's touch at fucking up pretty much everything Every dead pan forked tongue delivery Another fist full of dirt to bury me Ain't that the way it always goes? Pulling the ripcord, saving myself Before anybody knows Ain't that the way it always goes? Alone in the life boat saving myself Before anybody knows Waving off questions through bullets and consequence Leaving a clear trail of bodies and evidence By the time they came to carry me away I was long gone on a midnight bullet train Ain't that the way it always goes? Make a good entrance A quiet goodbye Before anybody knows Ain't that the way it always goes? Light up the fuses Excuse myself Before everyone explodes Ain't that the way it always goes? Pulling the ripcord, saving myself Before anybody knows Ain't that the way it always goes? Alone in the life boat saving myself Before anybody knows Ain't that the way it always goes? Pulling the ripcord, saving myself Before anybody knows Ain't that the way it always goes? Alone in the life boat saving myself Before anybody knows
