You can moan, but no one's going to drive you home 
This time you're on your own, for a change 
In the dark, watch out for the broken hearts 
They hang around the empty parks in the rain 

It's a curse. Daddy says you have to work 
He can't pay for college books, or holidays 
He's back at home, 
Don't ask him where the money's gone 
If it was ever there at all, was it fake? 

It goes without saying, as the saying the saying goes 
You asked for more and the honey flowed 
You had it all not so long ago 
It goes without saying, as the saying goes 
It's a wicked world everybody knows 
But nobody cares, they've heard it all before 

In the queue, standing with his back to you 
There's a boy you once knew, he turns away 
Such a shame, he always was the brightest spark 
Now it's a one-way ticket and a shot in the dark 
one-way ticket and a shot in the dark 

DROP DOWN [bad word] 
It goes without saying, as the saying the saying goes 
You asked for more and the honey flowed 
You had it all but you didn't know 

MIDDLE 8 
But when you're lost inside the dance you're in a different world 
The music swirls, your body twirls, and you forget about it all 
Until the curtain falls, until the [bad word] on and we all applaud 

 [bad word] 
It goes without saying, as the saying goes 
It's a wicked world everybody knows 
You had it all but you lost control 
It goes without saying, as the saying goes 
You asked for more and the honey flowed 
You've got it all but you just don't know 

What price would you pay for a happy life 
red rose and a bleeding heart? 
Or a one way ticket and a shot in the dark 
one way ticket and a shot in the dark 

It goes without saying, as the saying goes 
You asked for more and the honey flowed 
You've got it all but you just don't know
