One of Those Things

[Verse 1]
You've been icing your ego
Surprising yourself
Advising his health from afar
You're no doctor, but you knew
All you had to do
All you had to prove to become a liar

[Chorus]
And it's just one of those things
It keeps the crowds away
When you make like a tree and stay
And it's just one of those things
To know your enemies
And keep 'em close to me and pray
(Hey, hey, hey!)

[Verse 2]
You've been traveling so much
Whiskey's your crutch
Everyone around you is a bad influence
You've been timing your curfew
Supplying your own crew
Surprising the lot with a well-played game of chess

[Chorus]
And it's just one of those things
It keeps the crowds away
When you make like a tree and stay
And it's just one of those things
To know your enemies
And keep 'em close to me and pray
(Hey, hey, hey!)

[Bridge]
Everybody wants to know just how to train a rat
And what the fuck am I supposed to do with that?

[Verse 3]
It's a meeting of minds
The best of their kind
The rest of the night will be a mess
But in the final hour
Good choices save the day
New voices pave the way and you can have the rest

[Chorus]
It's just one of those things
It keeps the crowds away
When you make like a tree and stay
It's just one of those things
To know your enemies
And keep 'em close to me and pray
(Hey, hey, hey!)
Hey (Hey, hey, hey!)
Hey (Hey!)
(Hey!)
