Billy Joel Getting Closer
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 closer
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 close, getting closer I don't have all the answers yet But I'm getting closer, getting closer
I'm a mark for every shyster From Topanga to Berlin And I should have learned to kick them out As soon as they crawled in So to every bank in Switzerland That stores my stolen youth I'm alright because despite the laws You cannot hide the truth
And although you will say I am still too naive But I have not lost faith In the things I believe
And if I don't have a this all worked out Still I'm getting closer, getting closer I still have far to go no doubt But I'm still getting closer, getting closer
