This is how it goes   You'll get angry at yourself   And think you can think of something else   And I'll hear the clanging of the bells   Cause I can't stop you baby...      Cause I don't have the bribery in place   No bright shiny surface to my face   So I won't go near the market place   With what I'm selling lately   Cause this is how it goes--      Chorus:   Cause it's all about drugs   It's all about shame   And whatever they want--   Don't tell 'em your name      This is how it goes:   One more failure to connect   With so many how could I object?   And you--what on earth did you expect?   Well, I can't tell you, baby   When this is how it goes      (Chorus)      So I'll try to hold on   While you try to let go   You won't tell me it's gone--   But, baby, I'll know   Baby, I'll know   Baby, I'll know
