Story

After completing the Electric Sheep song cycle, The Colors were completely obsessed with Kurt Vonnegut Jr’s (whom they had long shared mutual friends with) Slaughterhouse Five, and constructed a theatre show around the book. They blended their interactive musical game pieces of the early 60s with the themes and readings from the book and created The Colors Interactive Slaughterhouse Five Show. ‘So It Goes’ was the show's closer, though unfortunately the show never made it to the stage. ‘So It Goes’ became The Colors obituary song; every time a band member, or someone close to the band, died, they would write a new version of the song.

Lyrics

The thing that we all inherently know But choose, to forget We all come knowing this is so, Death is ours And so it goes The only ever cause of death Is lack Of oxygen to the brain The brain is all we have And then it dies God have mercy on our brain Before the car plowed into my young chest, I squashed an ant And so it goes The ambulance trampled the nest When they picked me up So it goes My lover chased the ambulance A great speed And hit a tree He died instantly And so, And so it goes And so And so it goes, He was, Hugh Jean
