Ian Fowles - How It's Going To Be lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] And I wouldn't lie If I tried, take me down And if I die here now [Outro] Wishing wells and magic spells and everything between Can you tell me what it's like? Or how it's going to be?
