So It Goes Lyrics

Nick Lowe So It Goes

I remember the night the kid cut off his right arm
In a fit to save a bit of power
He got fifty thousand watts
In a big acoustic tower

Security is so tight tonight
Oh, they are ready for a tussle
Better keep your backstage passes
Cause the promoter has the muscle

And so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes
But where it's going no one knows

In a tall building sit the head of all nations
Worthy men from Spain and Siam
All day discussions with the Russians
But they still went ahead and vetoed the plan

Now up to the U.S. representative
He's the one with the tired eyes
747 put him in that condition
Flying back from a peacekeeping mission

And so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes
But where it's going no one knows

In the air there's aftershave lotion
In the wake of a snake bit Persian
On his arm is a skintight vision
Wondering why she aint mine she is whistling

And so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes
But where it's going no one knows

And so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes
But where it's going no one knows
But where it's going no one knows
