Lyrics

At the end of the track there's a two-bit shack
When you die, that's where you go
Down the line there's a bottomless pit
At the end of your rainbow

That's one too many flights of stairs

One more stair and almost there
One more dose of close
One last glare at the bottom of the stairs
One more unholy ghost

Keep coming back to haunt you
Got no place left to go
Meet me on the strip where all the strippers strip
And they'll strip your car to the bone

The queen of the scene tripped on her crown
And the jester started laughing
In a second she said, "remove his head"
I guess that's what you get for laughing

One last laugh and lived to tell

One more pompous circumstance
One more fool to follow
Another finger down my throat
It's a bitter pill to swallow

I see my train coming
It's moving much too slow
Who is it asleep at the wheel?
I don't want to know

Just around the corner there's
Somebody there to take you there
Don't worry child, you're sure to be scared

One more drink before I go
One last good-luck kiss
One less thing to call my own
That's one more thing I miss

Took the world for granted
Took the world by storm
Most of 'em either ended up dead
Or wishing they had never been born

And just around the corner there's
One more pompous circumstance
One more fool to follow
Another finger down my throat
It's a bitter pill to swallow
