maybe maybe nothing could prepare you

but that something and that someday always comes

and the only thing around worth hanging onto

is a love of twisted symmetry demanding it be done

this way, this way



you're always the last to know

your cigarettes and suitcases

and so on the story goes

you're shell-shocked in your shoelaces

and now that you're on your own..



and it won't be so far away tomorrow

everybody says cause everybody knows

all one by one in single file we follow

paying out the drop like dominoes

today, today



you're always the last to know

your cigarettes and suitcases

and so on the story goes

you're sweet dreams and your sci-fi sunsets

and now that you're on your own (now that you're on your own)

now that you're on your own

Where are you gonna go?



And so on the story goes

And so on the story goes

And so on the story goes



you're always the last to know

your cigarettes and your suitcases

and on and on you go

you're shell-shocked in your shoelaces

now that you're on your own

now that you're on your own

now that you're on your own, on your own

on your own, your own, your own

(now that you're on your own)
