How It Happened To Me - The Giraffes

There is nothing that You can do

It’s totally plain that you

Are another mans tool

In spite all the «facts» thrown in your face

No control could’ve been better toned

To get you to do what you will do

And I didn’t know just what you were trying to achieve

All I knew is that I couldn’t wait to leave

I had that up my sleeve

I always found it much better

To be counting on anything other than you

Still you were heaping praise

Thought you were making waves

You are Getting older

You are Slipping under

The Coming days

Are open graves

That you had made

When you were younger

When you were stronger

When it was funner

To waste away

Now you’re getting strange

You are Slipping under

Internal powers that’ll take your place

That’s how it happened to me

That’s exactly how it happened to me

Don’t you know

I thought I’d put it all out on the table

But the pace was never my own

That’s how it happened to me

Keep leaving

Keep drinking

Keep speaking

Keep swinging

Stay descent

Stay lucent

Keep waiting

Keep blaming

Keep failing

Keep failing
