Old College Try |
| From the housetops to the gutters |
| From the ocean to the shore |
| The warning signs have all been bright and garish |
| Far too great in number to ignore |
| From the cities to the swamplands |
| From the highways to the hills |
| Our love has never had a leg to stand on |
| From the aspirins to the cross-tops to the Elavils |
| But I will walk down to the end with you |
| If you will come all the way down with me |
| From the entrance to the exit |
| Is longer than it looks from where we stand |
| I want to say I’m sorry for stuff I haven’t done yet |
| Things will shortly get completely out of hand |
| I can feel it in the rotten air tonight |
| In the tips of my fingers, in the skin on my face |
| In the weak last gasp of the evening’s dying light |
| In the way those eyes I’ve always loved illuminate this place |
| Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell |
| Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell |
| I will walk down to the end with you |
| If you will come all the way down with me |
