It could be ten, but then again I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa And you leave me with my jaw on the floor Just when you think (think) you're in control Just when you think (think) you've got a hold Just when you get on a roll Here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again Oh, here it goes again I should have known, should have known, should have known again But here it goes again Oh, here it goes again It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy Something inching past the edge of reserve Now through the lines of the cheap venetian blinds Your car is pulling off of the curb Just when you think you're in control Just when you think you've got a hold Just when you get on a roll Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again Oh, here it goes again I should have known, should have known, should have known again But here it goes again Oh, here it goes Oh, here it goes Oh, here it goes again Oh, here it goes again I guess there's gotta be a break in the monotony But Jesus, when it rains, how it pours Throw on your clothes, the second side of Surfer Rosa And you leave me, yeah, you leave me Oh, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again Oh, here it goes again I should have known, should have known, should have known again But here it goes again Oh, here it goes Oh, here it goes Oh, here it goes again I should have known I should have known But here it goes again Oh here it, oh here it, oh here it, oh here it Oh, here it goes again I should have, I should have, I should have, I should have I should have known I should have known Oh, here it goes again Oh, here it goes again
