How It Ends

(アルバム： Georgia Gothic - 2022)

I'm looking at you and I'm walking on ice
Take a big plunge, wouldn't that be nice?
Nice, cool water running through my hair
Never gonna see me coming up the rear
I got a chain link fence wrapped around my feet
Waiting at the bottom of the pavement sheet
I saw a flash of lightning and my family and friends

That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Paid for my ticket and didn't ask for more
Besides a Redwood casket and a crucifix
Loved by none and carried by sticks
Made a fool of myself for all of these years
You could see me fogging up the whole atmosphere
And I'm never gonna have a second chance again

That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends

(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)

Never went to church, but I prayed a whole lot
So I guess I'm forgiven even if I'm not
And they can take back the old feelings
To relieve my debt
It's in the kitchen sink and the TV set
Apologies to everyone without a clue
I'll keep the gates open for the rest of you
And I can put a good word in for all of my friends

That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
And this is how it ends

Now that all of my debts are paid
I'll be laid to rest and with the rest to lay
A few seats for the people coming after me
You can go back home 'cause I set myself free
And God knows the getting was good for a while
Shovel that dirt to cover this pile
And take a good look at these dividends

That was how it began and this is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends

(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah) This is how it ends
