It's finally over; when they call your name, don't you tell them anything.
The world's on fire, we're all broke down, so make your last words count.
Paycheck to paycheck, your life is a train wreck,
And all your dreams were wrong before.
Travelling back streets,
You can't get on your feet,
and the sound of the door
There's no way out of this madhouse,
Without giving up a little piece of your mind.
Stand back, rewind, it's almost show time.
No way we're ever leaving behind.
Wrote you a letter,
Said that I'd never
needed anybody the way that I needed you tonight.
I didn't send it,
I had to amend it.
I needed you yesterday, the same way that I do today.
Tomorrow's same, there's just no getting away.
There's no way out of this madhouse
without giving up a little piece of your mind.
Stand back,, rewind, it's almost show time.
No way we're ever leaving behind.
