How's It Gonna End |
He had 3 whole dollars |
A worn out car |
And a wife who was |
Leaving for good |
Life’s made of trouble |
Worry pain and struggle |
She wrote good bye in |
The dust on the hood |
They found a map of Missouri |
Lipstick on the glass |
They must’ve left |
In the middle of the night |
And I want to know |
The same thing |
Everyone wants to know |
How’s it going to end? |
Behind a smoke colored curtain |
The girl disappeared |
They found out that the ring was a fake |
A tree born crooked |
Will never grow straight |
She sunk like a hammer into the lake |
A long lost letter and |
And old leaky boat |
Promises are never meant |
To keep |
And I want to know |
The same thing |
Everyone wants to know |
How’s it going to end? |
The barn leaned over |
The vultures dried their wings |
The moon climbed up an empty sky |
The sun sank down |
Behind the tree on the hill |
There’s a killer and he’s coming |
Thru the rye |
But maybe he’s the father |
Of that lost little girl |
It’s hard to tell in this light |
And I want to know |
The same thing |
Everyone wants to know |
How’s it going to end? |
Drag your wagon and your plow |
Over the bones of the dead |
Out among the roses and the weeds |
You can never go back |
And the answer is no |
And wishing for it only makes it bleed |
Joel Tornabene was broken |
On the wheel |
Shane and Bum Mahoney on the lamb |
The grain was as gold |
As Sheila’s hair |
All the way from Liverpool |
With all we could steal |
He was robbed of twenty dollars |
His body found stripped |
Cast into the harbour |
There and drowned |
And I want to know |
The same thing |
Everyone wants to know |
How’s it going to end? |
The sirens are snaking |
Their way up the hill |
It’s last call somewhere in the world |
The reptiles blend in with the |
Color of the street |
Life is sweet at the edge of a razor |
And down in the front row of |
An old picture show |
The old man is asleep |
As the credits start to roll |
And I want to know |
The same thing |
We all want to know |
How’s it going to end? |
I want to know |
The same thing |
We all want to know |
How’s it going to end? |
And then I just |
Want to know just the same thing |
I don’t want to know |
How’s it going to end |
