about

At the End of the Line it certainly seems there's only one way to go...back the way you bloomin' came!

lyrics

The End of the Line


I could smell the beauty of their filthy schemes
And the guilty treasures of their secret dreams
With cash in hand paid the ultimate price
No more credit at the end of the line

I saw tired old players proposing toasts
To the mob, the masses, and their swinging votes
To the ruddy-faced rough-handed man
With his elbows on the table and his tongue hanging down

I saw life weighing heavy on the head of the crowd
Drunk on pearls from the belly of the sow
Thirsty tongues round ancient guns
Bleeding money from a thousand wounds

I beat the losers to the bottom rung
Followed the smell to the Kingdom of the Sun
Swam the river to the city of gold
Guided by the sparkle of the idol's hoard

Follow the money to the underworld
Follow the money, follow the money
Follow the money to the underworld
It's the race to the bottom of the underworld

I had three wishes and I wished for more
More roads to explore and more bridges to burn
Vomited the taste of the market place
When I tried to swallow what was on my plate

I was cramming more words into the noise
My head flopped down facing into the void
Saw my two faces in the sacred well
In a brand new version of the same old hell

I was turning pages from the book of life
Chewing on remains of the blood and bile
Slurping down tears of yesteryear
Through a silver straw and laughing through the fear

Follow the money to the underworld
Follow the money, follow the money
Follow the money to the underworld
It's the race to the bottom of the underworld

When the well runs dry and the final flower dies
Follow the easiest path down, down to the underworld
