[Verse 1]
I can attest I'm not much for vests
I like my sleeves and all the rest
It's a minor but essential part of coats
And I do declare we gotta fix Times Square
And put your paintings way up there
Instead of advertisements on the screen
[Chorus]
That's how the time goes by
That's how the time goes by
With useless commentary
[Verse 2]
You must beware of uncomfy chairs
There's nothing like a breath of air
There's nothing quite like being all alone
And I have to say it's always fеlt the same
Even with a diffеrent name
You're still the same, you're still the same as you were
[Chorus]
That's how the time goes by
That's how the time goes by
With useless commentary
[Bridge]
And who knows best what weather is next
When the rain is shinin' and the sun starts to pour?
And why do I feel like the backs of my hands stay toasty
When my feet are turnin' cold?
[Chorus]
That's how the time goes by
That's how the time goes by
With useless commentary
