Suicide Alley Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm going down to suicide alley
'Cause the air that I breathe tastes better down there
I'm going down to suicide alley
'Cause it seems as if, as if it's the only place for me
[Chorus]
And I'm going down to suicide alley
Where you can't get at me
And I'm going down to suicide alley
Where I can be what I want to be
[Verse 2]
I'm going down to suicide alley
'Cause the air that I breathe tastes better down there
I'm going down to suicide alley
'Cause it seems as if, as if it's the only place for me
[Chorus]
And I'm going down to suicide alley
Where you can't get at me
And I'm going down to suicide alley
Where I can be what I want to be
[Outro]
You won't eat away at my mind with your ideas of decency
I'll be in suicide alley being who and what I want to be
You won't eat away at my mind with your ideas of decency
I'll be in suicide alley being who and what I want to be
