Lyrics
Wait for me by the banshee tree Let me be your wailing companion And pass 'em on by, don't look 'em in the eye Suicide Alley is callin' And you thought you were dreaming But you could wake up dead and you'll never ever know what's real All this damage is runnin' loose in your head And it really matters to me Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Downtown baby, it's a million to one You might as well name your poison And stand in line by the exit sign Suicide Alley is waiting You're a loose cannonball on a sinking ship From the belly of the beast, shot from the hip But you don't have to be going down the dark hall You're not tied to the chair, you're not nailed to the wall Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Oh, no, baby don't 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 wasn't born to follow You know I wasn't born, I was spat out at the 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 don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Oh, no, baby don't go Walkin' down Suicide Alley Down Suicide Alley
