Forged Check

Forged a check to buy a one way ticket
While the blood’s still young in my veins
Though time may still be stealing
And the dry air will put more age on my face
So it goes
Goes goes goes
Fast or slow
Slow slow slow
I don’t know
Know know know
Where we go
At the end of the day
Had to run away from the circus
Be a clown without their crutch
I’m wanted not for my ambitions
But for the way that they break my heart
So it goes
Goes goes goes
Fast or slow
Slow slow slow
I don’t know
Know know know
Where we go
At the end of the day
There’s a job waiting for me on a hanger
With a room above facing the past
Where my wife has found another lover
Who pays his own wage and income tax
So it goes
Goes goes goes
Fast or slow
Slow slow slow
I don’t know
Know know know
Where we go
At the end of the day
Tall tales and urban legends
Over bottles of cheap red wine
Nobody can kill my spirits
But I won’t say they haven’t tried
So it goes
Goes goes goes
Fast or slow
Slow slow slow
I don’t know
Know know know
Where we go
At the end of the day
