I was on that mountain road, in the middle of the night I was on my way back home, and I was heading for the light Things were looking pretty good, how was I to know of the curse, That was waiting for me when, things took a turn for the worse I have known a friend or two, and we have gone our separate ways But I never thought it would be you, who would condemn me in this way To think about the way things are right now To think that you were right there from the first To not know a soul in your own town When things take a turn for the worse Overcome by a dream that should have been long dead I'm buried a lifetime deep, in every single word that has still not been said To stand with both feet in this world and live a lie still unrevealed To talk of wisdom and it's pearls as if you know the way it feels To have to trust in someone else's crowd To scandalize with just one verse To have to smile on your way down When things take a turn for the worse
