Your world is falling down on top of you
But you don't seem to know it
Your friends are down to just a precious few
And that alone should show it
You tell outrageous lies
You swim against the flow
You talk to empty skies
And then you turn and go
Well babe you're going the wrong way on a one way street
You don't know what you're doin'
It's your own fate that your likely to meet
You're on the road to ruin
You told me nothing ever gets you down
But baby that was madness
Now that your smile has turned into a frown
Your wrapped in total sadness
You wander in the rain
You seek elusive bliss
You think the world's insane
But I can tell you this:
You're going the wrong way on a one way street
You don't know what you're doin'
It's your own fate that your likely to meet
You're on the road to ruin
You haven't reached the point of no return
But it keeps getting nearer
Before you finally crash and burn
Maybe you'll see things clearer
You always chase rainbows
You find no pot of gold
You follow highs with lows
And that just makes you old
Because you're going the wrong way on a one way street
You don't know what you're doin'
It's your own fate that your likely to meet
You're on the road to ruin
