The Way The Story Goes (demo)

from Random Stuff by John Brownell

about

Early, demo version as I work out the various bits... appeared on Secret Powers 6.

lyrics

Maybe in some other country
Maybe there's a man who can relate to how I feel
I bet he's real
Maybe he looks much like me
Maybe he is 43
With slightly darker skin
Drinks chamomile

Maybe like me he has pictures of his lost love
Hidden away in the drawer of his nightstand
Maybe we've been writing the same story and we cannot comprehend
That this is how the story's gonna end
Because this is how the story always ends

Maybe on some other planet
Maybe there's another man about to understand
The way I feel
Maybe he sorta looks like me
But he's only 33
And has six-fingered hands
And sex appeal

Maybe he still has pictures of his love
Hanging on the wall directly above her
Maybe he is writing the same story though we're light years apart
And that is how the story always starts
That's just how the story always starts

Maybe in some other universe
There is a man who can reverse the flow of time
Maybe he once looked like me
But now he is 23
And sharper in his mind

Maybe he's taking pictures of his love
Fully aware of how everything will end up
Maybe he keeps writing the same story even though he knows
Exactly how the story's gonna go

Because this is how the story always goes

That's just how the story always goes
