I wish I had a penny

For every time I told her I loved her

But that sincerity I know won't raise the fare

She was born with a wanderlust

And against the odds she made the grade

Now out of sight is out of mind to her

I'm scared...

It's a big bad big bad dead end world



If I close my eyes I can't forget you, stranger

In my sleep I see you dancing into danger



Mister don't shoot her

You can't see the whites for the reds of her eyes

Maybe she's been crying over me

While you're lying over her



Talk of us is words in perfect tenses

It seems that action men have broke down your defences



We're passing strangers

But your leaving left me wondering why

These times have changed us

Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world

Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world



Friends rally round but it's not just a question of sympathy

Others come and go why won't you come and go with me?



We're passing strangers

But your leaving left me wondering why

These times have changed us

Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world

Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world
