Billy Joel – Getting Closer Lyrics  Share

From Billy Joel's album: The Bridge

I went searching for the truth
But in my innocence I found
All the con men and their acrobats
Who stomped me in the ground
If I count up their percentages
I know they^,re getting rich
But they haven^,t taken everything
Those paybacks are a bitch

Though I^,ve lost quite a lot
I am still in control
They can keep what they^,ve got
But they can^,t have my soul
And if I don^,t have this all worked out
Still I^,m getting closer, getting closer
I still have far to go no doubt
But I^,m getting closer, getting closer

What was ripped off by professionals
Is not all that it seems
While I must live up to contracts
I did not give up my dreams
If I see it as experience
It hasn^,t gone to waste
Lately all the missing pieces
Have been falling into place

And if I could go back and start over somehow
[ Getting Closer lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/b/billy-joel/getting-closer/ ]
I would not change that much
Knowing what I know now
Thought there have been sins
I will regret
Still I^,m getting close, getting closer
I don^,t have all the answers yet
But I^,m getting closer, getting closer

I^,m a mark for every shyster
From Topanga to Berlin
And I should have learned to kick them out
As soon as they crawled in
So to every bank in Switzerland
That stores my stolen youth
I^,m alright because despite the laws
You cannot hide the truth

And although you will say
I am still too naive
But I have not lost faith
In the things I believe

And if I don^,t have a this all worked out
Still I^,m getting closer, getting closer
I still have far to go no doubt
But I^,m still getting closer, getting closer
