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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Getting closer[00:00:45]

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

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

Getting closer[00:00:55]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And start over somehow[00:01:21]

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

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

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

I will regret[00:01:33]

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

Getting closer[00:01:38]

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

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

Getting closer[00:01:50]

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

From Topanga to Berlin[00:02:38]

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

To kick them out[00:02:43]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Getting closer[00:03:18]

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

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

Getting closer[00:03:28]
