Carrot<\/p>\n
(In the Course of Events)<\/p>\n
In the course of events
\nI’ve seen my goals hanging just like a carrot in front of my nose
\nIn the struggle for those higher attainments, hell,
\nI’ve been to the top
\nand I’ve seen the drop on the other side<\/p>\n
And I don’t care if your money’s no good
\nI don’t care if both your legs are wood
\nI don’t care what your ma says to do
\nJust come away with me<\/p>\n
It takes time to get where you want to go
\nand its never quite the same when you get there
\nbut there’s still a couple things I’d like to try with you
\nand you never can tell it might work out all right<\/p>\n
You can sit and talk about life all day
\nas much as you can talk your questions wont go away
\nit’s a conversation that leads me to say
\njust come away with me<\/p>\n
I’ve been burned before
\nand I’ll get burned again
\nI guess that’s the same for everyone
\nI know what I need
\nI know what I want
\nI know what I get —
\nthey don’t always correspond<\/p>\n
You can sit and talk about life all day
\nas much as you can talk your questions wont go away
\nit’s a conversation that leads me to say
\njust come away with me<\/p>\n
