Song title: Shawn Colvin - Suicide Alley

Edit By: 216.73.216.79

Wait for me by the banshee tree
Let me be your wailing companion
Pass em on by, dont look em in the eye
Suicide alley is callin

You thought you were dreaming
You could wake up dead
And youll never know whats real
All this damage is runnin loose in your head
And it really matters to me

Oh, no, baby dont go
Walkin down suicide alley

Downtown baby its a million to one
You might as well name your poison
And stand in line by the exit sign
Suicide alley is waiting

Youre a loose cannonball on a sinking ship
From the belly of the beast, shot from the hip
But you dont have to be going down the dark hall
Youre not tied to the chair, youre not nailed to the wall

Oh, no, baby dont go
Walkin down suicide alley

Sitting naked by the window in the middle of the night
I can see you wearing your halo
If only in the daybreak of the dirty street light
I know baby wasnt born to follow

You know I wasnt born I was spat out at a wall
And nobody even knew my name
The sun hatched me out, cradle and all
On the corner of first and insane

For the souls of the departed and the renegades of love
You and me we gotta be all we dreamed of
In the ruins of mischief through the ravages of time
You got a place in this world of mine

Oh, no, baby dont go
Walkin down suicide alley
