How's it Gonna End

He had three whole dollars a worn out car A wife who was leaving for good Life's made of trouble worry pain and struggle She wrote goodbye in the dust on the hood They found a map of Missouri lipstick on a glass They must have 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 the smoke coloured 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 Long lost letter and an old leaky boat Promises are never meant to keep And I want to know the same thing I wanna 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 a 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       Tied your wagon and you plough over the bones of the dead Out among the roses and the weeds And you can never go back and the answer is no And wishing for it only makes it bleed Joe Tornabenny was broken on the whell 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 inot the harbour there and drowned And I want to know the same thing We all wanna know how's it going to end The sirens are snaking their way up the hill I'ts last call somewhere in the world The reptiles blend in with the colour of the street Life is sweet at the edge of a razor And down in the first row of an old picture show An old man is asleep the credit starts to roll And I want to know the same thing We all wanna know how's it going to end I want to know the same thing We all wanna know how's it going to end And I just wanna know the same thing I wanna know how's it going to end
