Lyrics
Dead End
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Say easily with me
Well I show affection
But it's creeping up
Creeping up on me
Om another direction
I love the 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
And they tried it
And they like to say no one can believe this
And they like to say that nobody would ever achieve it
Keeping a flame for yourself
The way you played it out
Pushing the blame on
Keeping the fame for yourself
Oh, it's a dead end
It's a dead end day
It's a dead and lonely 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
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
Back beneath the sheets
And between the pillow cases
And the snake he races out
And he tangles into your hair
Oh, funny the fruits you choose
And 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 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
And it's a long, long way
It's a long, long way
It's a long, long
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
Say 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
It's a dead end
It's a dead end day
It's dead end lonely day
