Billy Joel Getting Closer Lyrics:
I went searching for the truthBut in my innocence
I found All the con men and their acrobatsWho
stomped me in the ground If I count up their
percentagesI know they're getting rich But they
haven't taken everythingThose paybacks are a bitch
Though I've lost quite a lotI am still in
controlThey can keep what they've got But they
can't have my soulAnd if I don't have this all
worked out Still I'm getting closer, getting
closerI still have far to go no doubt But I'm
getting closer, getting closerWhat was ripped off

dreamsIf I see it as experienceIt hasn't gone to
waste Lately all the missing piecesHave been
falling into place And if I could go back and
start over somehowI would not change that much
Knowing what I know nowThought there have been
sinsI will regret Still I'm getting close, getting
closerI don't have all the answers yet But I'm
getting closer, getting closerI'm a mark for every
shyster From Topanga to BerlinAnd I should have
learned to kick them out As soon as they crawled
inSo to every bank in Switzerland That stores my
stolen youthI'm alright because despite the laws
You cannot hide the truthAnd although you will
sayI am still too naive Well, I have not lost
faithIn the things I believe And if I don't have
this all worked outStill I'm getting closer,
getting closer I still have far to go no doubtBut
I'm still getting closer, getting closer
