Everybody goes away
Everybody goes away
You might go on home
But you're gonna find
Everyone goes away some day
The parents of parents, they went away
Parents, they go away, far to soon
Children, too, they go away
Everybody goes away one day
When you're caught in the middle
It might seem like forever
Always thought I'd be immortal
Now I know my foot is on time's throttle
It might be cruel, it might be unkind
It might be a blessing in disguise
It might even drive you
straight out of your mind
It's going to change your life forever
Just like all those people in any 1950's movie
Everybody goes away
Goes away some day
Maybe that's tomorrow
Today is already becoming yesterday
The only thing for certain
I've already paid my taxes
Everybody goes their way
Everybody goes away some day
Everybody goes away one day.
