lyrics

Back before the streets had names
you used to get lost in the rain
Oh, the cul-de-sac was always the same
And each time you would swear in vain
that you would never find your way back there again
Oh, look how far you came.

It’s rainin’ cats and dogs, you made another wrong turn again
If you can’t prepare for the journey, prepare for the end.
God ain’t no naive rube, he sees everything you do
He’s like Santy Claws, but he pay’s you for your sin.

All that remains is shadows and rain
and no one can blame you for saving yourself
but the flames, yes the flames of Hell.

You can leave all that shines to go diggin’ in those dark dirty mines
but what you trade will be worth more than gold
Touch all the life you can, clutch it in your clammy little hands
but in the end, my friends, you will grow old.
