That's How The Story Goes Lyrics

When I was a pirate

Roamed the seven seas

Wanting only treasure

And a good stiff breeze

Never really had a friend

Someone on who I could depend

It was all a means to an end

That's how the story goes

That's how the story goes

When I was a dancer

Learned to flow

Slipping through dimensions

Put on quite a show

Never really had me sold

Quickly got old

There was nothing to which I could hold

That's how the story goes

That's how the story goes

Attraction, reaction

Do it one more time

Desire, make me a liar

Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down

When I was a seeker

Looked for signs

Thought I'd cracked the code

Found the rhythm and rhyme

Never really broke through

Just wore out my walking shoes

Guess I had to pay some dues

That's how the story goes

That's how the story goes

That's how the story goes
