Dead End Street
Gob Squad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another night out drinking. Yeah, Here I am.
Me and the guys we've got to get it on.
Reeling high, swinging low. I am the man.
Follow me, join the game and my masterplan.

So strung out that I can't help
my selfishness is killing me.
I've got a one way ticket and I gotta break free from
my mind as I fall.
My selfishness is killing me.
I've got a one way ticket and I gotta break free from
my mind as I fall.
Watch me as I fall.

Contemplate my headache. Don't give a damn.
All ladies seem fine, meets my demands.
The dead end street is closing in.
Walk alone. I wasn't half the man.

So strung out that I can't help
my selfishness is killing me.
I've got a one way ticket and I gotta break free from
my mind as I fall.
My selfishness is killing me.
I've got a one way ticket and I gotta break free from
my mind as I fall.
Watch me as I fall.

So strung out that I can't help
my selfishness is killing me.
I've got a one way ticket and I gotta break free from
my mind as I fall.
My selfishness is killing me.
I've got a one way ticket and I gotta break free from




my mind as I fall.
Watch me as I fall.
