Billy Joel - Getting Closer (Unreleased Version) Тексты

(One, two, one two three four)
I...went...searching for the truth but in my innocence I found
All the con men and their acrobats who stomped me in the ground
If I count up their percentages, I know they're getting rich
But they haven't taken everything those paybacks are a bitch

Though I've lost quite a lot, I am still in control
They can keep what they've got but they can't have my soul

And if I don't have this all worked out, still I'm getting closer, getting closer
I still have far to go no doubt, but I'm getting closer, getting close

What was ripped off by professionals is not all that it seems
While I must live up to contracts I did not give up my dreams
If I see it as experience, it hasn't gone to waste
Lately all the missing pieces have been falling into place

And if I could go back and start over somehow
I would not change that much, knowing what I know now

Thought there have been sins I will regret, still I'm getting closer, getting closer
I don't have all the answers yet, but I'm getting closer, getting close...
