That's how it ends
You go from heartache to heartache
As you make amends
Just bigger and bigger
You take two steps back
You want something from nothing
And you're so exact
You think you're a rich man
Now you misbehave
You're not a free man running
Just a comfortable slave
(Chorus:)
So selfish
You got more than you can use
But you still don't see
You're so selfish
And you're running out of room
Deeper and deeper
As you forge ahead
You go higher and higher
But you've been mislead
Harder and harder
You grind the stone
Faster faster faster
Till you're skin and bones
Too much ambition
Without relief
You know that ain't heaven
But it's what you teach
[Chorus:]
[Instrumental]
Who's got the answer
Give me the cure
Don't rush to judgement
Until you're sure
(Repeat chorus two times)
Ashes to ashes That's how it ends You go from heartache to heartache As you make amends Just bigger and bigger You take two steps back You want something from nothing And you're so exact You think you're a rich man Now you misbehave You're not a free man running Just a comfortable slave (Chorus:) So selfish You got more than you can use But you still don't see You're so selfish And you're running out of room Deeper and deeper As you forge ahead You go higher and higher But you've been mislead Harder and harder You grind the stone Faster faster faster Till you're skin and bones Too much ambition Without relief You know that ain't heaven But it's what you teach [Chorus:] [Instrumental] Who's got the answer Give me the cure Don't rush to judgement Until you're sure (Repeat chorus two times) Explain Request ×
