It Goes Without Saying

You can moan, but no one’s going to drive you home

This time you’re on your own, for a change

In the dark, watch out for the broken hearts

They hang around the empty parks in the rain

It’s a curse. Daddy says you have to work

He can’t pay for college books, or holidays

He’s back at home,

Don’t ask him where the money’s gone

If it was ever there at all, was it fake?

It goes without saying, as the saying the saying goes

you asked for more and the honey flowed

you had it all not so long ago

It goes without saying, as the saying goes

It’s a wicked world everybody knows

But nobody cares, they’ve heard it all before

In the queue, standing with his back to you

There’s a boy you once knew, he turns away

Such a shame, he always was the brightest spark

Now it’s a one-way ticket and a shot in the dark

A one-way ticket and a shot in the dark

It goes without saying, as the saying the saying goes

you asked for more and the honey flowed

you had it all but you didn’t know

but when you’re lost inside the dance you’re in a different world

the music swirls, your body twirls, and you forget about it all

until the curtain falls, until the lights come on and we all applaud

It goes without saying, as the saying goes

It’s a wicked world everybody knows

you had it all but you lost control

It goes without saying, as the saying goes

you asked for more and the honey flowed

you’ve got it all but you just don’t know

what price would you pay for a happy life

a red rose and a bleeding heart?

or a one way ticket and a shot in the dark

a one way ticket and a shot in the dark

It goes without saying, as the saying goes

you asked for more and the honey flowed

you’ve got it all but you just don’t know
