One Of Those Things

You've been icing your ego
Surprising yourself
Advising his health from afar
You're no doctor but you knew
All you had to do
All you had to prove to become a liar

And it's just one of those things
It keeps the crowds away
When you make like a tree and stay
It's just one of those things
To know your enemies and
Keep 'em close to me and pray

You've been traveling so much
Whiskey's your crutch
Everyone around you's a bad influence
You've been timing your curfew
Supplying your own crew
Surprising the lot with a well played game of chess

And it's just one of those things
It keeps the crowds away
When you make like a tree and stay
It's just one of those things
To know your enemies and
Keep 'em close to me and pray

Everybody's wants to know
Just how you train a rat
And what the fuck
Am I supposed to do with that?

It's a meeting of minds
The best of their kind
The rest of the night will be a mess
But in the final hour
Good choices save the day
New voices pave the way
And you can have the rest

And it's just one of those things
It keeps the crowds away
When you make like a tree and stay
It's just one of those things
To know your enemies and
Keep 'em close to me and pray

Yeah hey hey hey
Yeah
