Bet Your Never Thought

You've cut yourself from existence

For the sake of tradition

Just to be alone

But all you found was a frown

And that acting the clown

Can turn your thoughts to stone

So you abandon your dreams

For a city of screams and a necktie

And you sit and you think

Of the tears you would she'd if you let yourself cry

I bet you never thought it would be like this

Yet you're saved by the graves

Of old men whose names play on the juke box

And when you see records turning

Round people and sounds

You want to play your part

So you sing lonesome songs

Of things they're long gone

Your kissing them goodbye

And with your soul 'neath your feet

Your hitting the streets in search of a collective sigh

I'll bet you never thought it would be like this

Yeah we're all just a start

A small part of centuries moving on

So you grab something good

And hold on 'cause the worlds gone wrong

And you can't go back home

Cause your restless and scared with something to prove

That nothing should be left but burial grounds

With nothing to gain and nothing to lose

Bet you never thought it would be like this
