The Dark End of the Road
Let me tell you 'bout a friend of mineSlipped into the darkness at the edge of the nightGot more and more and more confusedIn a never ending search for youthHe turned his back upon an open doorWent back to the road he'd been on beforeGoing round and round in the darker zone'Til he finally found himself aloneHe slipped away from resolutionsKept trying to find easy solutionsAll tangled up with worldly problemsHe'd sneak around like the artful dodgerOh, he got lost on a mountaintop covered in snowGoing snowblind, lost his soul, running out of timeOh, and he's got so far to goSearching for light Lost somewhere up the dark end of the roadHe used to be a simple manWith innocence and simple plansHe had to go and complicate itGot bored with life and tired of waitingThe days of rage seemed never endingHe'd run and hide keep on pretendingSongtexteThat everything would turn out rightHe's stepping out again tonightThe lines were blurred by his confusionTorn apart and disillusionedAll tangled up with worldly problemsHe'd sneak around like the artful dodgerOh, he got lost on a mountaintop covered in snowGoing snowblind, lost his soul, running out of timeOh, and he's got so far to goSearching for light Lost somewhere up the dark end of the road Aus Songtexte Mania
