Where It Gets You


Unsettled through this archway
As the clouds all filter past
In every single plan we made
They knew it wouldn't last

Denied ourselves such pleasures
In a plot to play pretend
Endangered like each truth we sold
Only lies made in the end

But that's where it gets you
Nothing to say, there's nothing to do

Oh that's where it gets you
That's where it gets you

Wasted every instinct
On some youth left in your bones
Beneath the waves it lies so still
Waiting for the answerphone

Nothing much to push away
So we shuffle to what's next
With any reason still retained
You can take it on the chest

But that's where it gets you
Nothing to say, there's nothing to do

Oh that's where it gets you
That's where it gets you
