Dead end girl on the outside looking in
On a dead end world in which she cannot live
And she'd love to leave for someplace all alone

And she'd love to live
Far from every face or name she's ever known


No, I can't say I blame her
No, I can't say I blame her


My oh my dead end girl

My oh my dead end girl made a promise to herself

That this dead end world would be forced to eat itself at gunpoint.

No, I can't say I blame her

No, how can you blame her?

My oh my dead end girl


My oh my dead end girl on the outside looking in
On a dead end world

One of which she cannot live
And she'd love to leave for someplace nice and cold
And she'd love to live far from me or anyone she's ever known


My dead end girl


...But then I stopped and took the picture,
Found myself looking in it,
Found myself drowning in it,

Lost myself for a minute,
The same face in the same mirror
With his eyes a little clearer

Read what the reflection's sending,
This is only the beginning.


My dead end girl
My dead end girl
No, dead end girl

No, dead end girl
