Any time she's feeling happy
Any time she's feeling sad
She remembers it's the cycle
Just another day she's had
Drop the groceries on the pavement
Climb the stairs to her retreat
Slowly gets back on the treadmill
Push the button and repeats
Repeats the good things twice
Hold on to them day and night
'Cause in her heart she knows it
Deep inside
Good things come at a price
He does enough to please the mother
He does enough to please a friend
He does enough to feed the mouths that need him, boy
On a loop, it doesn't end
And even though the treadmill's sagging
Slowing underneath his feet
He don't want to know the answers
If his whole life's on repeat
Repeats the good things twice
Hold on to them day and night
'Cause in his heart he knows it
Deep inside
Good things come at a price
Repeat the good things twice
Hold on to them day and night
'Cause in our hearts we know it
Deep inside
Good things come at a price
We don't want to make excuses
But we can always be machines
We don't want to run forever
But often that's the way it seems
We're going 'round and 'round forever
We're going 'round and 'round forever
We're going 'round and 'round forever
We're going 'round and 'round forever
We're going 'round and 'round forever
