Dead Road 7
The Kills渀 Lyrics

This dead road leads down
The path we are following leads downwards, possibly to a negative outcome

To that dead road and back
The route we are taking is circular, taking us back to where we started

To the road where the oldest road
We are heading towards a place where the oldest, most established path converges

Met the first dead road that cracked
The original path has deteriorated and is now intersecting with a newer, broken road

Made the second and curved the third
The intersection created two new paths, one of which curves around

Forked the forth and said to the fifth
The path then split into two, with one path leading the way and the other following closely behind

"If you walk just a couple of miles
If you follow this path for a small amount of time,

You're gonna come across the sixth, the sixth, the sixth"
You will eventually reach the sixth path

Dead road seven is a bitch
The seventh path is particularly difficult or unpleasant

Floating belly flush
There may be dead bodies floating in the water on this path

Go down there if you wish
Proceed down this path at your own risk

Go down there if you wish
Again, proceed with caution

Go down there if you wish
The warning is repeated for emphasis

Dead road seven is a bitch
The difficulty of the seventh path is emphasized again

Floating belly flush
The presence of dead bodies on this path is repeated

Go down there if you wish
The warning is repeated once more

Go down there if you wish
Final warning before proceeding down the dangerous road

Go down there if you wish
The song ends with a cautionary note not to take this path lightly
