How It's Going To Be lyrics

Across the city steam and light

Off a runway to the manufactured night-

In storybooks you'll never find

In paper armor that you'd mind

They'll hold the match to you this time-

And watch the smoke rings fit the crime

In moments you cannot reprise

Like a soldier or a watch that you can't wind

We fought the world with hands twice-tied

The people cheered, the captain cried

I'll keep the souvenir inside

It's just better in my mind

And I wouldn't lie

I never really wanted more

Than what I ever really needed after all

Someone that hates to see me go

You made a promise then you hide

And you said we'd all be dead by twenty-five

It's not your disappointed sigh

It's not you traded this for pride

Not that we really even mind

We're just bored you're still alive

And I wouldn't lie

If I tried, take me down

And if I die here now

Wishing wells and magic spells and everything

between

Can you tell me what it's like?

Or how it's going to be?
