That's What They Always Say

At the first bell of the day They rise up from where they lay And look down with the promise in their hands A promise to get out This ain't what it's all about There's always lots of reasons for their plans When that golden sun shines through There's always one more thing to do Just one more stab into the wishing well That's what they always say I'm getting out That's what they always say Ain't that just what they always say That's what they always say Just one more little thing left in my way That's what they always say Ain't that just what they always say I'm getting out, I'm holding on I'm hanging in, the time is wrong And every morning brings another reason A piece of cake, no lion share Just one more dice and you'll be there That golden bridge is just around the bend That's what they always say I'm getting out That's what they always say Ain't that just what they always say That's what they always say Just one more little thing left in my way That's what they always say Ain't that just what they always say Tomorrow is another day The money junkie fades away That golden bridge is just around the bend That's what they always say I'm getting out That's what they always say Ain't that just what they always say That's what they always say Just one more little thing left in my way That's what they always say Ain't that just what they always say --- That's What They Always Say - Chris Rea
