One Thing Leads to Another
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They close your eyes
Then the doctor says it's too late
You wonder why
your life passes before you
In the dark
you slip into a coma
You crash the car
You've gone too far
Policemen flash for your credentials
You go too fast
but you're not careful
so you drive back home
confused and alone
She's a man
but when you get down to it
She says sure you can
You wanna make love to her
She says 'My place or yours?'
Drinks are poured
Like you could dance forever
so you dance together
To make a move now seems essential
Someone stares at you
The club you go to has potential
To replace the other
who just rediscovered her mother
'cause you think you might
need a lover
And, oh my God, look you have just discovered
the way that one thing can lead to another
And, oh my God, look you have just discovered
the way that one thing can lead to another
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
It can lead to another
What's going on tonight?
You think you might discover
so you pour a drink
and start to think about another
You get the sack
when you turn up late
You think get this pressure
off my back
With the deadlines missed
your boss gets pissed
You fail your test
You're so depressed
and the job begins to suffer
and the job begins to suffer
And, oh my God, look you have just discovered
the way that one thing can lead to another
And, oh my God, look you have just discovered
the way that one thing can lead to another
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
One thing leads to another
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
It can lead to another
And the job begins to suffer
for the lover you lost
'cause you care such a lot
about the job you've got
You couldn't care less
You're in such a mess
and life's tougher
You're feeling older
The house is colder
with her mother
then your lover
says she's moving out
and moving back in
You get a job
You like the job
And isn't it funny
how one thing leads to another?
And, oh my God, look you have just discovered
the way that one thing can lead to another
And, oh my God, look you have just discovered
the way that one thing can lead to another
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
One thing leads to another
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
It can lead to another
