[Brandon Flowers - The Way It's Always Been lyrics]
They shut down the Golden sahara Hotel
Jessica says it won't be long
'Til they blow it all to hell
She's standing in the front yard
Cut offs and skin
Me and her brother we been friends
Since I can't remember when
And ain't that the way it's always been?
Everybody sittin' around waiting
For the Son to come again
The shift at the chemical plant
The white wedding dress
I wake up every morning and I wonder
If I'm gonna pass the test
I try to live up to what she's got in mind
Sometimes the pressure's so heavy
I feel like leaving it all behind me
And ain't that the way
That it's always been?
Laying low just long enough
For the dust to settle down
The black and the white
The thick and the thin
And hoping that He's really got the power
To save us from these sins
Everybody sittin' around waiting
For the Son to come again
I took a long walk yesterday (yesterday)
To a field where I used to play
I saw myself in the corner of my mind
I was twelve years old and blind
To the big wheel and the grind
And ain't that the way that
It's always been?
Standin' at the water's edge
Waiting for the fog to clear tackle or touch
You sink or you swim
And hoping that He's really got the power
To save us from these sins
Everybody sittin' around waiting
For the Son to come again
They're waiting for the Son to come again
(Ain't that the way?, Ain't that the way?)
Jessica says it won't be long
'Til they blow it all to hell
She's standing in the front yard
Cut offs and skin
Me and her brother we been friends
Since I can't remember when
And ain't that the way it's always been?
Everybody sittin' around waiting
For the Son to come again
The shift at the chemical plant
The white wedding dress
I wake up every morning and I wonder
If I'm gonna pass the test
I try to live up to what she's got in mind
Sometimes the pressure's so heavy
I feel like leaving it all behind me
And ain't that the way
That it's always been?
Laying low just long enough
For the dust to settle down
The black and the white
The thick and the thin
And hoping that He's really got the power
To save us from these sins
Everybody sittin' around waiting
For the Son to come again
I took a long walk yesterday (yesterday)
To a field where I used to play
I saw myself in the corner of my mind
I was twelve years old and blind
To the big wheel and the grind
And ain't that the way that
It's always been?
Standin' at the water's edge
Waiting for the fog to clear tackle or touch
You sink or you swim
And hoping that He's really got the power
To save us from these sins
Everybody sittin' around waiting
For the Son to come again
They're waiting for the Son to come again
(Ain't that the way?, Ain't that the way?)
