Your world is falling down on top of you But you don't seem to know it Your friends are down to just a precious few And that alone should show it You tell outrageous lies You swim against the flow You talk to empty skies And then you turn and go Well babe you're going the wrong way on a one way street You don't know what you're doin' It's your own fate that your likely to meet You're on the road to ruin You told me nothing ever gets you down But baby that was madness Now that your smile has turned into a frown Your wrapped in total sadness You wander in the rain You seek elusive bliss You think the world's insane But I can tell you this: You're going the wrong way on a one way street You don't know what you're doin' It's your own fate that your likely to meet You're on the road to ruin You haven't reached the point of no return But it keeps getting nearer Before you finally crash and burn Maybe you'll see things clearer You always chase rainbows You find no pot of gold You follow highs with lows And that just makes you old Because you're going the wrong way on a one way street You don't know what you're doin' It's your own fate that your likely to meet You're on the road to ruin
