Dead End

Oh what's wrong with me

Said "Oh what's wrong with me "

I know what I don't wanna be

A dead end on the family tree

And I just lost my virginity

To a girl who won't remember me at all

Took her out on a shopping spree

Happiness never happened for free

Could it be that I imagined things

I'm just sad instead of heartbroken

She came home but she's leavin' again

She's coming back but she won't say when

And I don't sing songs anymore

I don't feel young anymore

And it's hard to conceal

That these tears that I cry are for real

Any more

My Pop says "I should be like him"

My Mom says "I can live with them"

I had to ask my little brother to lend

Me change for the bus till I see him again

I'm getting drunk every day of the week

My ship sunk but it had no leak

A fortune teller on Bishop Street

She read my hand and the future is bleak

I'm tired of sitting upon the fence

I've got no self-confidence

Why don't I have a circle of friends

I'm so square they don't even pretend

And I don't sing songs anymore

I don't feel young anymore

And it's hard to conceal

That these tears that I cry are for real

Any more

Don't give in don't give in

You can never let them win

Don't give in don't give in

But I get cold

Ah

I get cold

Every night night night

Without a prayer in my heart

Heart heart

Oh I get cold

Yeah I get cold

Every night night night

Without a prayer in my heart

Heart heart

Oh no

Oh what's wrong with me

Said "Oh Lord what's wrong with me "

I know what I don't wanna be

A dead end on the family tree

And the train for my salvation

Is departing from the station

She don't feel like conversation

So I'm talking to myself

I got nobody else

I got my bottle of booze

And my stale cigarettes

Down from the shelf

And I don't sing songs anymore

I don't feel young anymore

And it's hard to conceal

That these tears that I cry are for real

Any more

Any more
