Wait for me by the banshee treeLet me be your wailing companionPass em on bydon t look em in the eyeSuicide Alley is callin You thought you were dreamingYou could wake up deadAnd you ll never know what s realAll this damage is runnin loose in your headAnd it really matters to meOhnobaby don t goWalkin down Suicide AlleyDowntown baby it s a million to oneYou might as well name your poisonAnd stand in line by the exit signSuicide Alley is waitingYou re a loose cannonball on a sinking shipFrom the belly of the beastshot from the hipBut you don t have to be going down the dark hallYou re not tied to the chairyou re not nailed to the wallOhnobaby don t goWalkin down Suicide AlleySitting naked by the window in the middle of the nightI can see you wearing your haloIf only in the daybreak of the dirty street lightI know baby wasn t born to followYou know I wasn t born I was spat out at a wallAnd nobody even knew my nameThe sun hatched me outcradle and allOn the corner of First and InsaneFor the souls of the departed and the renegades of loveYou and me we gotta be all we dreamed ofIn the ruins of mischief through the ravages of timeYou got a place in this world of mineOhnobaby don t goWalkin down Suicide Alley
