Suicide Alley
Lyricist:Shawn Colvin, John Leventhal
Wait for me by the banshee tree Let me be your wailing companion And pass 'em on by, don't look 'em in the eye Suicide Alley is callin'
And you thought you were dreaming But you could wake up dead and you'll never ever know what's real All this damage is runnin' loose in your head And it really matters to me
Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley
Downtown baby, it's a million to one You might as well name your poison And stand in line by the exit sign Suicide Alley is waiting
You're a loose cannonball on a sinking ship From the belly of the beast, shot from the hip But you don't have to be going down the dark hall You're not tied to the chair, you're not nailed to the wall
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley
Sitting naked by the window in the middle of the night I can see you wearing your halo If only in the daybreak of the dirty street light I know baby wasn't born to follow
You know I wasn't born, I was spat out at the wall And nobody even knew my name The sun hatched me out, cradle and all On the corner of first and insane
For the souls of the departed and the renegades of love You and me we gotta be all we dreamed of In the ruins of mischief through the ravages of time You got a place in this world of mine
Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Down Suicide Alley
