Nothing Ever Goes as Planned — текст песни (styx)

Whatcha going to do when the sun goes down tonight

Youll hit the same old clubs, rap that same old trash

Thats right

Youve got them real silk shirts and them baggy pants

Dago shoes in the colors that match

But the girls are acting bored

And youre feeling like youre going to lose

Youve got the g.q. blues



You get up every morning and you go to work each day

(you go to work, you go to work, you go to work)

Been doing the same damn job for ten long years this may

(youve got to work, youve got to work, youve got to work)

Youve been working and saving for your jamaican dream

Paradise is waiting across the sea

But when your plane lands montego turns to monsoon

Youve got the island blues



cause, nothing ever goes as planned

Its a hell of a notion

Even pharaohs turn to sand

Like a drop in the ocean

Youre so together and you act so civilized

But every time that things go wrong youre still surprised

Youve done your duty, youve paid a fortune in dues

Still got those mother natures blues



I strut around the stage like a little king tonight

Theyll scream for every word and every note, thats right

But when the show is over and Im all alone

Cant reach my baby on the telephone

And everywhere I look mr. loneliness is in the news

Ive got the big star blues



Boy, nothing ever goes as planned

Its a hell of a notion

Even pharaohs turn to sand

Like a drop in the ocean

Im so together and I act so civilized

But every time that things go wrong

Im still surprised

Ive done my duty and paid a fortune in dues

Still got them mother natures blues
