It Goes On Lyrics & Chords By They Sang As They Slew

Disappear into the world around
But it's not too late to change
The world rips it off like pyramid cloth
You gaze at a girl in release
And you drift in sleep
The waves break on in
Disturbing your peaceful repose in a chair of malaise
And so life
It goes on

Disappear into the room around you
People don't know what they can't see
Words are passed like knives on moving tables
Pictures changed for what we want to believe
And so it goes on

Fade into the world around you
Leave the shadows far behind
Come on
Die a death to save you
Shake the censer
Lift a prayer
Believe in time
Don't say we've lost all mystery
For modern man
He'll take the angels' song and sell it for a dime
But like some monster in an ancient fable
The dawn will break
Turn him to stone right where he lies
And so it goes on
