There's a place I know too well Been there and lived to tell And I can see that you and me are Almost halfway there We're getting much too close Feels like I've seen a ghost I took a vow if I made it out You'd never catch me there again CHORUS: No time to wonder why No time for long goodbyes Last chance for getting out is fading with the light 'Cause I don't want to be around When the night comes down On the lonesome side of town You can hear each footstep fall Run from shadows on the wall And every day is just the same As the one that came before You won't find any peace Not here, not on these streets Misery loves company And there's enough to go around REPEAT CHORUS 2X On the lonesome side of town On the lonesome side of town.
