Dead End

say easily with me

well i show affection

but it's creeping up

creeping up on me

in another direction

i love a ride

and i know someday i'll die

so i try to ask no questions

no questions why

but the weary one, lord it's me

do you think it's obsession

the smoke will find you a choker

that matches your coat

not fit to be tied

the mirror

it makes it all clearer

as you stand alone and can see your behind

in the mirror you can see your behind

well they tried it

and they like to say nobody would believe this

well they tried it

and they like to say well nobody would ever achieve it

the way you stayed up locked away up

keeping the flame for yourself

the way you played it out

pushing the blame of

reaping the fame for yourself

oh, it's a it's a dead end

it's a dead end day

it's a dead and lonely day

said a day

it's a dead end

it's a dead end day

it's a dead and lonely day

and it's a long way

a long way down

sing it again

and it's a long, long way

said a long, long way, long way down

too long for me now

oh sing it out, oh sing it out

change is coming baby

don't be startled lady

every once in awhile they do it again

you're gonna shake it, shake it

you know you wanna take it

back to where you once belonged

said back beneath the sheets

and between the pillow cases

and the snake he races out

and then he tangles into your hair

oh, funny the fruits you choose

oh the time it takes the words you lose

and it all goes back to rotation

over the back of your hand

said the back of your hand

the map is your hand

said the back of your hand

well the map is your hand

said the map is your hand

it's the back of your hand

said the back

you better step they told him

the back as you can

it's a long, long way

and it's a long, long, long way

and it's a long, long, long way

long way down

so stop your whining all the time

and don't you find a little secret to yourself

well it always saved your life

and start listening to the words

that you've heard

no one else, but yourself

will agree with you more

that it's a long, long way

it's a long, long way

it's a long, long way

and it's a long, long

and it's a long, long damn song

it's a long, a long, way down

sing it again

and it's a long, long way down

said it once, say it once again

said it's a long, long, way down

oh say

oh say

oh it's a dead end

it's a dead end day

it's a dead and lonely day

said a day

it's a dead end

it's a dead end day

it's partly over past day, but the night, ooh but the night
