This Way To The Egress End Is Nigh
[Intro]
Gonna go round town, gonna lose my way
I know I'm going down, gonna feel that sting
Know I'm going down, hear me when I sing
Lord I'm goin' down, won't ya help me?
I'm gonna go round town, gonna lose my way
I know I'm going down, gonna feel that sting
Know I'm going down, hear me when I sing
Lord I'm goin' down, won't ya help me?
[Verse 1]
Ya know what those sad folks say
“Tomorrow is another day!” Well
I ain't seen the sun in a long time
Woah-oh
Don't know what tomorrow brings, I
Don't know why the cage bird sings, I
Don't know much of anything
Woah-oh
[Chorus]
Painted nails and a heart of stone
My soulless shoes won't walk me home
I hear your voice although it's gone
It echoes in my head, this empty song!
[Verse 2]
It may be sad but true
I got a case of those devil blues
And skeletons in my closet keep me up at night
Woah-oh
I hear them rattlin' bones, they won't leave me alone
The end is nigh, God's calling on the telephone
Woah-oh
[Chorus]
Painted nails and a heart of stone
My soulless shoes won't walk me home
I hear your voice although it's gone
It echoes in my head, this empty song!
[Break]
[Outro]
Still I hear them rattling bones, I mistook them bones for my own
Still I hear them rattling bones, I mistook them bones for my own
