Down The Wrong Way

  • I have become what I criticize, oh, oh, oh
    The porn queen in my deck of lies, oh, oh, oh
    Where was you?
    In a caravan next to a Phantom ride
    You're left here with nothing, but something to hide.

    I am back o Gasoline Alley
    Where the smoke looks like a misty valley
    And those dotted hills where pills come down the wrong way.

    And you can serve yourself a king and your kingdom, too

    Oh, oh, oh,
    I was the man and the woman, and the who knows who
    The good news,
    That made her an offer that she can't refuse
    The truth I have nothing to lose.

    I am back o Gasoline Alley
    Where the smoke looks like a misty valley
    And those dotted hills where pills come down the wrong way

    You could say,
    I did it the only way, your own way
    But life goes on and it's another day!

    I am back o Gasoline Alley
    Where the smoke looks like a misty valley
    And those dotted hills where pills come down the wrong way
    I am back o Gasoline Alley
    Where the smoke looks like a misty valley
    And those dotted hills where pills come down the wrong way Writer/s: BJORN YTTLING, CHRISTINE HYNDE
