End Of The Line Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

Commissioned for the french film terminus. 

You are my only confidant 

And my only friend 

Together we will share everything 

Until the very end 

Chorus: 

There's no one here who shares my views 

Or sees the way I can see 

But there's just one thing that you'll understand 

You'll have to even up with me 

At the end of the line (x2) 

I've bet it all before 

But not everything I own 

There are some things that you can't buy or steal 

Or learn to leave alone 

Chorus repeat last line x4 

I toss the dice and skin the cat 

And I always pay the fine 

So we'll settle up even-steven 

When we reach the end of the line 

Hey, I hear you calling me back home 

To fly or fall to the news of it all 

There's no dark destiny 

Fate will receive what our love will believe 

'til we reach the end of the line 

Chorus repeat last line x10
