lyrics

i have to laugh
to keep from
crying out loud
can't be changing
out my face
and tearing up my smile
when it all starts feeling
like i'm going for a ride
the wrong way
yeah yeah yeah

do what ya do
just keep the motor running
so you can get away

it's your life
go do what you like
do what you like
do what you like

are you wondering again ?

now i can see it clearly
no more bringing me down
just smile and save my face
and no more merry-go-round
when it all starts feeling
like ya going for a ride
the wrong way ay ay ayy

do what you do
just keep the motor running
so you can get away

it's your life
go do what you like
do what you like
do what you like

don't let the traces of the gloomy
turn your life into a movie
when you know it doesn't have to be
can the drama duty
don't even tell your sister judy
all about it
all about it
what you see

you don't have to sacrifice
beautiful silence inside
for their paradise of strife oh no

now enter houdini
i hear he's hanging around
ya barely think ya safe
but still ya go another mile
then it all starts seeming like
ya taken for a ride
the long way ay ay ayyyy

do what ya do
just keep the motor running
so you can get away
