Continental Drifters Vermilion Way Of The World Written by susan cowsill & vicki peterson Main voice: vicki & susan Produced by continental drifters & mike mayeux Released on 'vermilion' (1999) There's a mean wind blowin' this way Everyone thinks it's okay The common law is lowest of all So why do we laugh when we watch someone else take a fall. It's the way of the world Say a prayer and it all comes true Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall You might make it through Oh lord, please let the landing gears come down It's a cry in the dark And you know you don't make a sound It's the way of the world. Like a good soldier marking my time I got my reward, it was mine Cut off my hair and burned down my home Sold my voice to the devil And all i got left was alone. It's the way of the world Say a prayer and it all comes true Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall You might make it through Oh lord, please let the landing gears come down It's a cry in the dark And you know you don't make a sound It's the way of the world It's the way of the world. What were you expecting What were you expecting What were you expecting What did you have planned. I know a woman, she's so very small Has nothing to say so she speaks for us all Looking for love and karmic relief An act of contrition heals everything That's her belief. It's the way of the world Say a prayer and it all comes true Cross your heart, hold your breath, touch the wall You might make it through Oh lord, please let the landing gears come down It's a cry in the dark And you know you don't make a sound It's the way of the world It's the way of the world. What were you expecting (it's the way of the world i'll say a prayer for you) What were you expecting (it's the way of the world and it'll all come true) What were you expecting (it's the way of the world) It's not what you had planned. |
