THIS IS HOW IT GOES
This is how the dots are joined
This is how the phrase is coined
This is how the milk spilt
This is how the house was built
This is how the hand shakes
This is how the dam breaks
This is how the fur flies
This is how the light dies

Any way the wind blows
This is how it goes

This is how the new shocks
This is how the boat rocks
This is where the trail led
This is what the man said
This is how the light blinds
This is how the jury finds
This is how the line moves
This is what the tests prove

And every year the graph show
This is how it goes

They built a road underneath the sun
They set it up and they let it run
From California via Kingdom Come to you

This is how the pulse quickens
This is how the plot thickens
This is how the roads meet
This is how the hearts beat
This is how the sweat gleams
This is how the body dreams
This is how the veil lifts
This is how the power shifts

A razor and a red rose
This is how it goes

And this is how a town bleeds
This is how a piece reads
This is how the dice land
This is how the scores stand
This is how a crown is worn
And this is how a circle's drawn
This is how a chain jerks
And this is how the medicine works

And if you ask the man then I suppose
He'll tell you this is how it goes
