Billy Joel - Getting Closer слова песни
I went searching for the truthBut in my innocence I foundAll the con men and their acrobatsWho stomped me in the groundIf I count up their percentagesI know they`re getting richBut they haven`t taken everythingThose paybacks are a bitchThough I`ve lost quite a lotI am still in controlThey can keep what they`ve gotBut they can`t have my soulAnd if I don`t have this all worked outStill I`m getting closer, getting closerI still have far to go no doubtBut I`m getting closer, getting closerWhat was ripped off by professionalsIs not all that it seemsWhile I must live up to contractsI did not give up my dreamsIf I see it as experienceIt hasn`t gone to wasteLately all the missing piecesHave been falling into placeAnd if I could go back and start over somehowI would not change that muchKnowing what I know nowThought there have been sinsI will regretStill I`m getting close, getting closerI don`t have all the answers yetBut I`m getting closer, getting closerI`m a mark for every shysterFrom Topanga to BerlinAnd I should have learned to kick them outAs soon as they crawled inSo to every bank in SwitzerlandThat stores my stolen youthI`m alright because despite the lawsYou cannot hide the truthAnd although you will sayI am still too naiveBut I have not lost faithIn the things I believeAnd if I don`t have a this all worked outStill I`m getting closer, getting closerI still have far to go no doubtBut I`m still getting closer, getting closer
