[Verse]
Walking down the street and no one really needs me
Sleeping on the pavement, it's life and it's dead end
Feelings of a danger, feelings but the strangest kind of emotion
It's one but it's two, a lie and really true
A nameless face, a game which makes a difference
Between reality and dream, truth is amazing
Hoping is like waiting
[Chorus]
Dead end, no one will be called
Dead end, in 1984
Mad man, don’t get too close
Bad man, where the evil goes
Dead end, no one will be called
Dead end, in 1984
Mad man, don’t get too close
Bad man, where the evil goes
[Verse]
Walking down the street and no one really needs me
Sleeping on the pavement, it's life and it's dead end
Feelings of a danger, feelings but the strangest kind of emotion
It's one but it's two, a lie and really true
A nameless face, a game which makes a difference
[Chorus]
Dead end, no one will be called
Dead end, in 1984
Mad man, don’t get too close
Bad man, where the evil goes
Dead end, no one will be called
Dead end, in 1984
Mad man, don’t get too close
Bad man, where the evil goes
[Outro]
Where the evil goes
Where the evil goes
Where the evil goes
Where the evil goes
Where the evil goes
Where the evil goes
Where the evil goes
Where the evil goes
Where the evil goes
