Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is how it works, it feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse right through that screamin' crowd
While laughin' up a storm until we were just bone
Until it got so warm that none of could sleep
[Verse 2]
And all the styrofoam began to melt away
We tried to find some worms to aid in the decay
But none of 'em were home inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees, prayin' that disease
Would leave the ones we love and never come again
[Verse 3]
On the radio, we heard November Rain
That solo's real long, but it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice 'cause the DJ was asleep
[Verse 4]
This is how it works, you're young until you're not
You love until you don't, you try until you can't
You laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe until their dyin' breath
[Verse 5]
No, this is how it works, you peer inside yourself
You take the things you like and try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made and stick it into some
Someone else's heart, pumpin' someone else's blood
And walkin' arm in arm, you hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does, you'll just do it all again
[Verse 6]
And on the radio, you'll hear November Rain
That solo's awful long, but it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice 'cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio, on the radio
On the radio, uh-oh, on the radio, uh-oh
On the radio, uh-oh, on the radio
