Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know a guy who's got a lot to lose He's a pretty nice fella; kinda confused Got muscles in his head that never been used Thinks he owns half of this town Starts going heavy on the microdose Then hits his old lady with a rubber hose Takes her out to dinner and buys her new clothes That's the way that the world goes 'round [Chorus] That's the way that the world goes 'round You're up one day, the next you're down It's a half an inch of water, you think you're gonna drown That's the way that the world goes 'round [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 2] I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes Whеn the radiator broke, the watеr all froze I got stuck in the ice without any clothes Yeah, I was naked as the eyes of a clown Crying ice cubes and hoping I'd croak When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke I stood up and laughed, thought it was a joke That's the way that the world goes 'round [Chorus] Oh, that's the way that the world goes 'round You're up one day, the next you're down It's a half an inch of water, you think you're gonna drown That's the way that the world goes 'round, yeah That's the way that the world goes 'round (The world goes round) You're up one day, the next you're down Oh, and it's a half an inch of water, you think you're gonna drown That's the way that the world goes 'round [Outro] That's the way that the world Oh, goes 'round The world goes 'round The world goes 'round
