It Goes Without Saying

The Walls

You can moan, but no one’s going to drive you home
This time you’re on your own, for a change
In the dark, watch out for the broken hearts
They hang around the empty parks in the rain

It’s a curse. Daddy says you have to work
He can’t pay for college books, or holidays
He’s back at home,
Don’t ask him where the money’s gone
If it was ever there at all, was it fake?

It goes without saying, as the saying the saying goes
you asked for more and the honey flowed
you had it all not so long ago
It goes without saying, as the saying goes
It’s a wicked world everybody knows
But nobody cares, they’ve heard it all before

In the queue, standing with his back to you
There’s a boy you once knew, he turns away
Such a shame, he always was the brightest spark
Now it’s a one-way ticket and a shot in the dark
A one-way ticket and a shot in the dark

It goes without saying, as the saying the saying goes
you asked for more and the honey flowed
you had it all but you didn’t know

but when you’re lost inside the dance you’re in a different world
the music swirls, your body twirls, and you forget about it all
until the curtain falls, until the lights come on and we all applaud

It goes without saying, as the saying goes
It’s a wicked world everybody knows
you had it all but you lost control
It goes without saying, as the saying goes
you asked for more and the honey flowed
you’ve got it all but you just don’t know

what price would you pay for a happy life
a red rose and a bleeding heart?
or a one way ticket and a shot in the dark
a one way ticket and a shot in the dark

It goes without saying, as the saying goes
you asked for more and the honey flowed
you’ve got it all but you just don’t know
