Going The Same Way You've Gone Before Lyrics

Your personal tailor can measure your waist

But that cobbler you knew has outgrown your taste

And the lace that you ordered is arriving too late

Nothing to wear to your opulent date

Forward the clock so you don't have to wait

You finally show

The bread has gone stale

The restaurant's closing

Your lover gone pale

There's nowhere to run but over the hill

Grabbing a handful of thrills

Going the same way you've gone before

Softly she hums from dawn till sunrise

You create a dividing line

Kicking Eve out of paradise

A rigid dichotomy

Every view dogmatized

Like weighted dice that come up snake eyes

You think Beethoven can hear how he's being brutalised

You finally show

Your reflection is gone

Your mirror is shiny, but your act is a con

Everyone knows you're just putting it on

Whistling a little Mendelssohn

Going the same way you've gone before

Both of you finally decide to show

A self-absorbed Jane, insufferable Joe

A king and a queen in a hand that scores low

Wedding car driving through snow

Going the same way they've gone before
