Well easily with me I show affection,

But it's a creepin' up, a creepin' up on me in another direction

I love, I write, and I die

And I try to ask no questions,

But the weary one is still me,

Do you think its 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 cant see your behind

Yea

They tried to tell me I could say that nobody could believe this

Well they tried to tell me I could say nobody could achieve this

The way you stayed of, locked away of

Keeping the flame for yourself,

The way you stayed of, pushin' the blame of, reaping the fame for yourself

Oh well, it's a, it's a, dead end

It's a dead end

Oh, it's a dead end lonely day,

Say it's a dead end

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a dead end day

It's a dead end oh day

And it's a long way, a long way down,

Hey well it's a long way, a long way down

Change is a coming a baby,

Don't be startled lady

Every once in a while they do it again

You 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, he tangles into your hair

Funny the fruits you choose

Oh the time you take, the words you loose

And it all goes back to rotation over the back of your hand

Oh the back of your hand, oh the back of your hand

Oh the map is your hand,

It's the back of your hand, the back of your hand

Say the back of your hand, oh the map is your hand, it's the back of your hand

Stop whining all the time,

Don't you find a little secret to yourself always saved your life,

Stop 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

And it's a long, long way, a long way down

Hey, and it's a long way down,

And it's a lo- oh- oh- ng way down

Hey, hey, hey, and it's a long, long, long, long way down,

Say say, [SCATS]

And it's a lo- oh- oh- ng way down, hey and it's a long way down

It's a dead end

It's a dead end oh

It's a dead end lonely day

It's a, it's a dead end

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a dead end day

It's a dead end oh day
