Man of Reason - They Say

The tents went up in a hurry
I watched the whole thing from afar
When the circus left three days later
Papa finally put the shotgun down
I followed a candlelight
Deep in the woods
I don't know why
She was there in the leaves with my cards to read
And I learned how I would die
They say it don't be like it is but it do
They say it don't be like it is but it do
I learned to like dance hall girls
Street-walkers were never for me
One drove me nuts
She was the Queen of Cups
She said take me any way you want me
They say it don't be like it is but it do
They say it don't be like it is but it do
Under a tree in Singapore
A fortune teller looked at my hand
She said you got bad luck
That'll be five bucks
You're just a fucking stupid man
They say it don't be like it is but it do
They say it don't be like it is but it do
They say it don't be like it is but it do
Is the whole world lying to me and you
They say it don't be like it is but it do
It hurts they say it don't be like it is but it do
It don't be like it is but it do
It don't be like it is but it do
It don't be like it is but it do
It don't be like it is but it do
