He had 3 whole dollars, A worn out car And a wife who was leaving for good Life's made of trouble, Worry, pain and struggle She wrote 'good bye' in the dust on the hood They found a map of Missouri Lipstick on the glass They must of left in the middle of the night And I want to know the same thing Everyone wants to know How's it going to end? Behind a smoke colored curtain, The girl disappeared They found out that the ring was a fake A tree born crooked, Will never grow straight She sunk like a hammer into the lake A long lost letter and And old leaky boat Promises are never meant to keep And I want to know the same thing I want to know How's it going to end? The barn leaned over, The vultures dried their wings The moon climbed up an empty sky The sun sank down, Behind the tree on the hill There's a killer and he's coming through the rye But maybe he's the father, Of that lost little girl It's hard to tell in this light And I want to know the same thing Everyone wants to know How's it going to end? Drag your wagon and your plow, Over the bones of the dead Out among the roses and the weeds You can never go back, And the answer is 'no' And wishing for it only makes it bleed Joel Tornabene, Was broken on the wheel Shane and Bum Mahoney on the lamb The grain was as gold, As Sheila's hair All the way from Liverpool, with all we could steal He was robbed of twenty dollars His body found stripped Cast into the harbour there and drowned And I want to know the same thing We all want to know How's it going to end? The sirens are snaking, Their way up the hill It's last call somewhere in the world The reptiles blend in, With the color of the street Life is sweet at the edge of a razor And down in the first row, Of an old picture show The old man is asleep, as the credits start to roll And I want to know the same thing We all want to know How's it going to end? And I want to know the same thing We all want to know How's it going to end? And I just want to know the same thing I want to know How's it going to end?
