Obsession Road

copyright 2021 dalekiddlyrics.com

It was after the heartache

before payments were owed

at the motel check in

out on Obsession Road

The neon sign flickered

it was set to explode

above the one-way street

they call Obsession Road

Around all the bluffing

it got hard not to fear

They thanked you for nothing

time to do or disappear

You were a-doer-a-doer

a doer doin’ you

You were doin’ all the doers

an’ the doers were doin’ too

The bit room went spinning

one blue light still glowed

Money said you were trapped

along Obsession Road

Drunks dropped by to kill Time

Time ran to implode

there’s no telling who died

up by Obsession Road

Around all the bluffing

it got hard not to fear

They thanked you for nothing

time to do or disappear

You were a-doer-a-doer

a doer doin’ you

You were doin’ all the doers

an’ the doers were doin’ too

How many ghosts do you have in your fam’ly?

How many lies do you have in your head?

How many foes do you have when you’re livin’?

How many friends do you have when you’re dead?

The boardwalk went shaky

teeth began to corrode

what route had been taken

near Obsession Road

Folks heard constant screaming

and the torture that flowed

soul searching was done

down by Obsession Road

Around all the bluffing

it got hard not to fear

They thanked you for nothing

time to do or disappear

You were a-doer-a-doer

a doer doin’ you

You were doin’ all the doers

an’ the doers were doin’ too

You were doin’ all the doers

an’ the doers were doin’ too

Time won't listen

Time won't lie

Time won't speak

and Time won't die ...
