caught in a cave-in at the data mine   i'm reading palms. i'm looking into eyes   i do my hair the way the demons like   and swear tonight i will be dynomite   and i am happy as a firefly   in the moment when the fire dies      we're making progress still a ways to go   shoulder to shoulder at the waterhole   buildings leaping with a single bound   cats and dogs are falling from the clouds   there are lots of ways to get around   do what you can. you make your mother proud      mournful and slow   the only way to go      someone's always got to pull a knife   whatever happened to a good clean fair fight?   we called the cops. we waited on the line. dial nine   the beautiful bastard was a friend of mine   you say good morning then you say goodnight   i hope to see you on the other side      mournful and slow   the only way to go      it could happen any day or night   what if life is not a prototype   you mind your business i will mind my own   you get the door and i will get the phone   we fall asleep with the tv on   in the middle of a marathon      mournful and slow   the only way i know      but that was then. and this is now. right now   here i am at the speed of sound   you get some money every other week. pay check   get out of debt just enough to be well fed   you feed the fish and then you walk the dog   the kitchen counter's getting waterlogged   once and for all this is the curtain call   the bullethole in the waterfall      mournful and slow   the only way to go
