::Verse 1::
Theres a fork in the road, but you never take it
Always go the same way home
Its 6 oclock so youre medicated
Easy when youre living alone
and all the girls who come and go
They whisper in your ear oh baby you know
Oh baby you know
::Verse 2::
This towns got a crooked grin
You know its got a cold, cold heart
Came here thinking it was yours to win
But youre dead before you even start
And all the friends who understood you
Smile and shake your hand saying really we should
Really we should
::Pre-Chorus::
And you dream, dream of better days
And it seems theyre moving far away
But you cant ever stop
You keep climbing for the top
Till the wind comes and blows you away
::Chorus::
Youre gonna watch yourself go down
Youre gonna watch yourself go down
Youre gonna watch yourself go down
Down, down, down
::Trumpet Solo::
::Organ Solo::
::Verse 3
When you were a kid the world was waiting
You were everybodys favourite son
But now you wake up in a room where the light is fading
I think youre finally catching on
And all the days they fly just like
People in your life whore passing you by
Oh, Passing you by
::Pre-Chorus::
And you dream, dream of better days
And it seems theyre moving far away
But you cant ever stop
You keep climbing for the top
Till the wind comes and blows you away
::Chorus::
Youre gonna watch yourself go down
Youre gonna watch yourself go down
Youre gonna watch yourself go down
Down, down, down
::Synth Solo::
::Guitar Solo::
::Trumpet Solo::
::Interlude::
::Outro::
Youre gonna watch yourself go down
Youre gonna watch yourself go down
Youre gonna watch yourself go down
