| Watch the mistake in progress, | |
| Even if you don't believe in progress. | |
| There's a give and there's a take, | |
| And there's a move she forgot to make | |
| In time to discover that | |
| The glove was a plant, and the shill, his mean-spirited thing. | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you to go. | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you to go. | |
| But this is the way of perpetual roads. | |
| And this is the way of perpetual roads. | |
| And this is the way of perpetual roads. | |
| And this is the way... | |
| Watch the parade in progress, | |
| Even if you don't believe in progress. | |
| There was a will. | |
| There was a way. | |
| There was a bill we forgot to pay, | |
| In spite of all the accidental riches, | |
| Golden Dons (dawns?), and sudden (seven?) glitches to the day. | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you to go. | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you to go. | |
| But this is the way of perpetual roads. | |
| And this is the way of perpetual roads. | |
| And this is the way of perpetual roads. | |
| And this is the way... | |
| It's a long climb down from obscurity, | |
| So cancel the keys to the city, please. | |
| Upon which | |
| I'll wretch the inextricable | |
| Failures of popular wisdom, | |
| And popular music. | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you to go. | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you, | |
| And she wants you to go. | |
| But this is the way of perpetual roads. | |
| And this is the way of perpetual roads. | |
| And this is the way of perpetual roads. | |
| And this is the way of perpetual roads... |
