Once I had a close friend

I knew him for quite a while

He seemed alright to me

We had this deal together

Tied up my money and time

And then he went away

Taking all that was mine 





Oh, well, things crumble to an end

Hell, we all die in the end

Die in the end 



Once it was fun to worry

About who was in control

Could look into the future

But now it don't seem right

Passion is filling the air

Profits are better than life

And things are harder to bear 







It's a dead end

Dead end

Dead end 



Once I had a lover

I knew her for quite a while

She seemed alright to me

But then she was gone

She took my lovin' and time

Taking all that was mine

And leaving me far behind 







It's a dead end

Dead end

Dead end
