He walked through the neon night He's future's 'bout to burn His face - was a mask of violence (violence) He'd just reached the bitter end - That point of no return There was ... nothing left to reach
Just traces of sadness (All the tears remained uncried) Just echoes of madness (All his fantasies had died) He buried his daydreams (But the nightmares stayed alive) Uooo-ooo (Addiction's like a fence That keeps away your second chance)
When the road to freedom ends
Drinks and drugs and all the rest He walked that one way street That leads ... into desperation And he leared the hardest way To steal and fight and cheat There was ... nothing left to learn
Just traces of sadness (All the tears remained uncried) Just echoes of madness (All his fantasies had died) He buried his daydreams (But the nightmares stayed alive) Uooo-ooo (Addiction's like a fence That keeps away your second chance) When the road to freedom ends
Deep down in his soul he found The words he had to learn: There is ... no way to return
Just traces of ... sadness (All the tears remained uncried) Uooo-ooo ... Just echoes of madness (All his fantasies had died) He buried his daydreams (But the nightmares stayed alive) Uooo-ooo (Addiction's like a fence That keeps away your second chance)
When the road to freedom ends
When the road to freedom ends
The traces of sadness (sadness, sadness ...)
Just traces of sadness (All the tears remained uncried) Just echoes of madness (All his fantasies had died) He buried his daydreams (But the nightmares stayed alive Addiction's like a fence That keeps away your second chance)
