| It’s a timely warning when you’re picking at your skin
|
| It’s a telling sign when you line 'em up again
|
| Now I don’t wish you trouble and I’m always kind
|
| Stay wealthy in your wonder, take time out of your mind
|
| If you tell me how it was
|
| I will tell you how it is now
|
| Don’t talk about the way it was
|
| 'Cos all there is is the way it is now
|
| Oh, that’s all there is
|
| There’s a sense of doom and it follows me around
|
| I get so used to it, that it feels like a friend
|
| Now all my misdemeanours and my shameful ways
|
| Ain’t nothing in the scheme of it no matter what you say
|
| If you tell me how it was
|
| I will tell you how it is now
|
| If you tell me how it was
|
| I will tell you how it is now
|
| If you tell me how it was
|
| I will tell you how it is now
|
| Don’t talk about the way it was
|
| 'Cos all there is is the way it is now
|
| All there is is the way it is now
|
| If you tell me how it was
|
| I will tell you how it is now
|
| If you tell me how it was
|
| I will tell you how it is now
|
| If you tell me how it was
|
| I will tell you how it is now
|
| If you tell me how it was
|
| I will tell you how it is now
|
| If you tell me how it was
|
| I will tell you how it is now
|
| If you tell me how it was
|
| I will tell you how it is now
|
| If you tell me how it was
