I've resorted to taking the backroad Puzzled, but I know it's for the best When the devil gets this close I need some friends Riding, sparkles, dear stable We've gotta get back to where we came If it all comes crashing down, I'll leave this place I'll leave this place Talk of other cities are some options She talks, au revoir is all I know When the jury has hung their fury I start to grow I resorted to taking the backroad Hell or high water, not a chance In this lover's quarrel Satan taps my head Its not fair for me dear Satan he taps my head He taps my head He taps my head
