Lyrics

From Here To Eternity

Everybody's ready now to make their move
But nobody wants to start
Everybody's sharpened up a point to prove
But nobodies got the heart
The truth is, nobody knows what the truth is
Unless of course it's me
And I'm on a slow boat
From here to eternity

Everybody's sayin we can win the fight
But nobody's won it yet
Everybody's swearin that the time is right
But nobody's making bets
The joke is, nobody knows what the joke is
Unless of course it's me
And I'm on a slow boat
From here to eternity

Knee shaking, rule breaking
Head aching, pill taking
Oh it`s a dirty job
This ain`t no business for the likes of me
Earth shaking; news making
Heart breaking, love making
Man it`s a dirty job
First they tell you it`s a piece of cake
Then they tell you that you`re never gonna bake it

Pains taking, claim staking
Back breaking, dirt raking
Man it's a dirty job
There ain't no mercy for the likes of me
Soul shakin, toll taking
World breaking, noise making
Man it's a dirty job
First they tell you it's a piece of cake
Then they tell you that you're never gonna make it

Everybody knows it`s just a game we play
But nobody`s getting out
And everybody's sure they got something to say
But me, well I have my doubts
The point is, nobody knows what the point is
Why do we disagree?
We`re all in the same boat
From here to eternity.
