《Getting Closer》歌词

[00:00:00] Getting Closer - Billy Joel

[00:00:02] I went searching for the truth

[00:00:05] But in my innocence I found

[00:00:08] All the con men and their acrobats

[00:00:11] Who stomped me in the ground

[00:00:13] If I count up their percentages

[00:00:16] I know they're getting rich

[00:00:19] But they haven't taken everything

[00:00:22] Those paybacks are a bitch

[00:00:24] Though I've lost quite a lot

[00:00:27] I am still in control

[00:00:29] They can keep what they've got

[00:00:32] But they can't have my soul

[00:00:35] And if I don't have this all worked out

[00:00:40] Still I'm getting closer

[00:00:45] Getting closer

[00:00:47] I still have far to go no doubt

[00:00:51] But I'm getting closer

[00:00:55] Getting closer

[00:00:57] What was ripped off by professionals

[00:01:00] Is not all that it seems

[00:01:02] While I must live up to contracts

[00:01:05] I did not give up my dreams

[00:01:08] If I see it as experience

[00:01:11] It hasn't gone to waste

[00:01:13] Lately all the missing pieces

[00:01:16] Have been falling into place

[00:01:19] And if I could go back

[00:01:21] And start over somehow

[00:01:24] I would not change that much

[00:01:27] Knowing what I know now

[00:01:30] Thought there have been sins

[00:01:33] I will regret

[00:01:35] Still I'm getting close

[00:01:38] Getting closer

[00:01:42] I don't have all the answers yet

[00:01:46] But I'm getting closer

[00:01:50] Getting closer

[00:02:35] I'm a mark for every shyster

[00:02:38] From Topanga to Berlin

[00:02:41] And I should have learned

[00:02:43] To kick them out

[00:02:44] As soon as they crawled in

[00:02:46] So to every bank in Switzerland

[00:02:49] That stores my stolen youth

[00:02:52] I'm alright because despite the laws

[00:02:55] You cannot hide the truth

[00:02:57] And although you will say

[00:03:00] I am still too naive

[00:03:03] But I have not lost faith

[00:03:05] In the things I believe

[00:03:08] And if I don't have a this all worked out

[00:03:14] Still I'm getting closer

[00:03:18] Getting closer

[00:03:20] I still have far to go no doubt

[00:03:25] But I'm still getting closer

[00:03:28] Getting closer
