One tattered shoe and a box full of roses
How does he make you happy?
Is it inside his trousers?
It must be you: our love could never die
I try and read it in your face
The skin is gone
The waste is set in card and stone
I shoot my mouth off
I watch it burn
‘Cause life goes on, I heard the man explain
Life goes on, for you to wallow in your pain
The day is long, the night time too
She says she’s having problems
She says, “It’s not me, it’s you”
But I saw you kiss him
Beneath those stairs
You thought I was out shopping
The store was closed!
Excuse the hand that breaks my bones
I shoot my mouth off
I’ll never learn
That life goes on, I heard the man explain
Life goes on, for you to wallow in your pain
Say it’s not true!
Everything is broken
Stride in on your white horse
Thinkin’, baby, that it’s Trojan
Peel back the hurt
Try and fill it with holes
Try and rekindle all your faith
In her sweet song
‘Cause life goes on, I heard the man explain
Life goes on, for you to wallow in your pain
Life goes on
Hey, a lot goes on, babe, beyond my detection
I’ve been loose with my love and affection
A phony grin, and a smile that was meant for three
