So when we leave the bar They were feeling the effects And the magnesian moon The streets are full of piss And the pigs walked by on stilts And the cabs all locked their doors Of tomorrow never comes I wouldn't care at all
And she tells me I don't need her That she's going home alone That we don't live in the city And the next train is not the dawn I tell her it's the true you see We've played this game before I love her and need her I couldn't love her more
I say Come on back this way Come on back this way Come on back this way
I call across the street But she doesn't turn around But a hundred other people do Are thinking they've been found But when I catch her up You know, I grab her by the arm But she's screamin' let me go I'm going back to the farm No!
Come on back this way Come on back this way Come on back this way
Come on back this way Come on back this way Oh, come on back this way
She pulls a glass from her coat That she's borrowed from the bar And she throws it at the wall And her legs cut by a shard She's tried to walk away But she's bleeding pretty bad So she backs against the wall And pulls the lipstick from her back And I say
Come on back this way Come on back this way Come on back this way
Come on back this way Come on back this way Come on back this way
She says there's a million girls out there That are prettier than me And with all your so called charm Why the hell did you pick me? And she's running down the reservoir While I'm trailing behind But she leads me through the backstreets To the dark parts of her mind
And it's here among the shadows Where the dreams are lost and found And she's heading through the station To get the next train out of town But I say
Come on back this way Come on back this way Come on back this way
Come on back this way Come on back this way Come on back this way
We're laying in the grass In the park when we wake Looking like the candles Through another wedding cake And the flowers that she picked They've broken the status The all and nothin' of our love Is burying deep inside us I say
Come on back this way Come on back this way Come on back this way
Come on back this way Come on back this way Oh, come on back this way
