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 a while 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, 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
