Wait for me by the banshee tree 
Let me be your wailing companion 
Pass 'em on by  don't look 'em in the eye 
Suicide Alley is callin' 
You thought you were dreaming 
You could wake up dead 
And you'll never 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 

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 

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 a 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
