Styx - Nothing Ever Goes As Planned Lyrics
Written by dennis deyoungLead vocals by dennis deyoungWhatcha going to do when the sun goes down tonightYoull hit the same old clubs, rap that same old trashThats rightYouve got them real silk shirts and them baggy pantsDago shoes in the colors that matchBut the girls are acting boredAnd youre feeling like youre going to loseYouve got the g.q. bluesYou 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 dreamParadise is waiting across the seaBut when your plane lands montego turns to monsoonYouve got the island bluescause, nothing ever goes as plannedIts a hell of a notionEven pharaohs turn to sandLike a drop in the oceanYoure so together and you act so civilizedBut every time that things go wrong youre still surprisedYouve done your duty, youve paid a fortune in duesStill got those mother natures bluesI strut around the stage like a little king tonightTheyll scream for every word and every note, thats rightBut when the show is over and Im all aloneCant reach my baby on the telephoneAnd everywhere I look mr. loneliness is in the newsIve got the big star bluesBoy, nothing ever goes as plannedIts a hell of a notionEven pharaohs turn to sandLike a drop in the oceanIm so together and I act so civilizedBut every time that things go wrongIm still surprisedIve done my duty and paid a fortune in duesStill got them mother natures blues
