One Way Out

Check it out

Hey girl, I see you once in a while

And I made up my mind to start a brand new file

I know that love is not a jumble sale

But generation X is not a fairy tale

We both run through the jungle at night

Driven on by the neon light

So don't you think we could try it together

Cause I just can't stand the icy weather

Sometimes I think I'd only fool myself

She might be just another trick

Just a brand-new toy that only makes you sick

But I cannot tell myself to get her out of my mind

I simply cannot tell my eyes they have to be blind

So the only way out is now the way to move in

There ain't no other chance for me to win

Well, I'm not frustrated, but alienated

With this fucked-up feeling that I just can't make it

I'm now on a slippery slope

And this may be the reason for my waning hope

I've been living to fast to live my own damn life

When I'm all alone it cuts like a knife

For all this time I never looked back

But right now I feel that I'm trapped

I've never noticed

That I'm the one to change

There's only one way out!
