The Good Life

[Verse 1]
Sally tells have longed for love
It started in New Amsterdam
She's gone, gone through change
Gone through planes and magazines

[Verse 2]
And that is all
The church bells ringing through her head
Some live life through the dotted line
Some make the safe bet sounding off

[Pre-Chorus]
The good life, the one life
The whole life, the old life
The lasting single solitary
World that you will know

The good life, the one life
The whole life, the old life
The lasting single solitary
World that you will know

[Chorus]
This counsel's faltered enough (I)
And shadows drag through the dusk (want)
And that's the way it (you to know)
Always goes down

Now this counsel's faltered enough (want you to know)
Back through the sin that you trust
And that's the way it
Always, always goes

[Verse 3]
Chasing dreams and signing off
Through the haze that's given up
She's gone, gone through change
Gone through flood and hurricane

[Verse 4]
And that is all
Sheltered victory's defeat
A martyr for belief in time
A martyr for a belief in life

[Pre-Chorus]
The good life, the one life
The whole life, the old life
The lasting single solitary
World that you will know

The good life, the one life
The whole life, the old life
The lasting single solitary
World that you will know

[Chorus]
This counsel's faltered enough (I)
And shadows drag through the dusk (want)
And that's the way it (you to know)
Always goes down

Now this counsel's faltered enough (want you to know)
Back through the sin that you trust
And that's the way it
Always, always goes

[Bridge]
Our winter is long
Too long for us every year
And our blood is ice
Ice just like the roadway glare

The poor man survives
The rich man sheds many tears
Whoever we are
We wish to God we were better here

And no I won't say that
No I won't be there
I'm not the answer
I don't see clear

I don't know (I told you)
Myself (I told you)
Myself (I told you)

[Chorus]
This counsel's faltered enough (I)
And shadows drag through the dusk (want)
And that's the way it (you to know)
Always goes down

Now this counsel's faltered enough (want you know?)
Back through the sin that you trust
And that's the way it
Always, always goes

[Outro]
Always goes down
Always goes down
Always goes down
Always goes down

I don't know (I told you)
Myself (I told you)
Myself (I told you)
And days feel like years
