That Way

(album: Before Hollywood - 1983)

In search of a new voice
You burnt all your lyrics and flew to a new town
One of the has-beens, 'cause that was your phrase
What about show biz?

That way, that way, that way
That way, that way, that way

In my apartment
Six white horses, wood turns electric
Inspired by shadows, driven by tears
You won't rest till you're back on the boards

That way, that way, that way
That way, that way, that way or nothing at all

I hear it's cold now
The worst one on record, hope that you keep warm
I guess I'll be leaving, now is the best time
On the Atlantic, we'll all climb

That way, that way, that way
That way, that way, that way or nothing at all

That way, that way, that way
That way, that way, that way
That way, that way, that way or nothing at all
That way, that way, that way or nothing at all

It's only time away, it's only time away, it's only time away
It's only time away, it's only time away, it's only time away

There'll come a time one day, someone will turn and say
It doesn't have to be that way
There'll come a time one day, someone will turn and say
It doesn't have to be that way
There'll come a time when someone will say
It wasn't that way
There'll come a time when someone will say
It wasn't that way
