It's an old and a beat up way
Tired and decayed
To turn our backs on the demons we can't face
So we stay up, stay up all night
To get a glimpse of the morning light
It cruises by and disappears without a trace
And it's a good day, for all we've worked for to hit the dust
And it's a good time, that by & by we find out who we really trust
And it's a good day, to watch the world go by
Yeah it's a good day, to watch the world go by
It's a slow and steady race
The endless fall from grace
But I'll tip my hat to you on the way down
Because there's nowhere left to run
So just sit and watch what we've become
We'll stay all night and drink a hole right through this town
And it's a good day, for all we've worked for to hit the dust
And it's a good time, that by & by we find out who we really trust
And it's a good day, to watch the world go by
Yeah it's a good day, to watch the world go by
You don't wanna talk about it anyhow
Nothing's ever lookin' up when yer lookin' down
Well all in all we tend to crawl too fast
When we watch the world go by through an empty glass
Yeah it seems to me you seem to be alone
And it's a good day, for all we've worked for to hit the dust
And it's a good time, that by & by we find out who we really trust
And it's a good day, to watch the world go by
Yeah it's a good day
