A Way
The Bolshoi
Were in love,
lets be together
Happy times or heavy weather
Mother says, Todays a special day
So lets not fight, okay?
Yes
When you were at school you were a honey
The boys all loved you, they loved the money
The boys would stare youd cross your legs
And then youd toss your hair
A way
Yes you get by
A way
Moneys scarce
but family honour brings it home
Brings it home
Brings it home
And down the shore the tongues they snicker
T.V. dinners, fear and liquor
Yes
Skeletons fall out of
cupboards
Curtains drawn fall open to allow
The light shows up that dust
That plays around your face
A way
Yes you get by
A way
Innocence and lies dont
make a perfect match
Leave your door unlatched
I know a word can be untrue and yet still move you
And all the times theyd bring their friends round
Dress you up
Show you up
And all the time they told you it was true
Well Ill believe you now, but then...
I just dont know I think Id have to reconsider
Yes
I know when she got married
She looked fine in white and lacy frills
Oh yes she had a baby
It was painful
It was worth it
And all the time they stuck the knife in
Pulled it up and twist it around
A way
Yes you get by
A way
Well thats fine
Fine
Fine
