You hate, you scream, you swear
And still you never reach them
You curse, you try to scare
But you can never teach them
It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for E-laine, E-laine, E-laine
E-laine, E-laine, E-laine
You know they're gonna get you
You try to break a-way
But they will never let you
It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for E--laine, E--laine, E--laine
You're like a goldfish in a bowl
E--laine, E--laine, E--laine
They have your mind, they'll take your soul
You come, you stay, you go
It rea---lly doesn't matter
You've done it all before
By now they'll know the pattern
It's a dead end street
They tie your hands and tie your feet
And the street is narrow
A nowhere lane
A nowhere train for E--laine, E--laine, E--laine
You're like a goldfish in a bowl
E--laine, E--laine, E--laine
They have your mind, they'll take your soul
Nowhere to go
You know they're gonna get you
Nowhere to go, you know they'll never let you
