DEAD END
I know who you are
And who you want to be
I know you're entrapped
And you want to be free
You can't put off until tomorrow
What needs to be done today
We've had this talk so many times before
There's not much more I can say
When the days become years
You'll know that it's true
You'll look back and say
Why didn't I listen to you?
I've been down that road
Let me tell you my friend
That sooner or later
You'll see a dead end
The road will deceive you
With its ups and its downs
It's so hard to find direction
With your head spinning round
You found a hole in the sky
But it's so lonesome there
Even when you gaze down
You still feel no fear
Come on my darling
It's time to turn the page
The only way you're not dying
Is from old age...
I've been down that road
Let me tell you my friend
That sooner or later
You'll see a dead end
The road will deceive you
With its ups and its downs
It's time to get it together
Turn your life around
Two years later --
I'd hoped to see you again
But I couldn't make it
So some flowers I'll send
I tried to convince you
But you wouldn't bend
So sorry for you
Now you'll never mend
I've been down that road
I told you my friend
But sooner, not later,
You saw the dead end
The road has deceived you
With its ups and its downs
It's just so sad
I'll never see you around
