it’s too late
the train’s already gone
there’s a wise guy on the left
and he can’t see what’s in your head
if he could
it wouldn’t make much difference
he’d never live to tell
stuck in someone else’s hell
there’s no need to worry
this thing it must be done
this battle must be won
by any means necessary
you’re just scared growing old
and so am I
we play close to the vest
never mind what the rest do
we’ve always done it better
we’ll always do it best
we can’t come from the heart
we can’t stop once we start to
so forget all the rest
we always do it best
right here
drop that burden that you carry
i know it weighs a ton
i know this all seems scary
but soon enough it will all be done
and the right side will have won
yeah the right side
so play it close to the vest
never mind what the rest do
we’ve always done it better
we’ll always do it best
don’t you come from the heart
you can’t stop once you start to
so forget all the rest
we always do it best
play it close to the vest
i almost forgot to say what we came here for
there’s no use in lying
loose ends need tying
so take these pills and go to sleep
when wake up you’ll be free
you won’t even know me
it will be wonderful
i play close to the vest
i don’t care what the rest do
i always do it better
i always do it best
i won’t come from the heart
i can’t stop once i start to
never mind all the rest
baby it’s for the best
