"Only One Way" lyrics

"Only One Way"

You're gonna get a wrinkle on your forehead
You're gonna get a click in your knee
You're gonna tell the doctor that you can't, sleep
And you're up every night until three

You're gonna make a bargain with the bad guys
You're gonna make some choices you regret
There's no place to hide from the prophecy
Since nobody told you it falls to me

There's only one way out
There's only one way out
There's only one way through
No matter what you do

You're gonna have to watch for the signs
You're gonna have to learn how to read
Nobody's gonna hand you a flashlight
You're gonna have to steal what you need

You're gonna have some trouble at the border
They're never gonna let you forget
I'm just passing on the information
Beaming down to me from a distant station

There's only one way out
There's only one way out
I've been told there's only one way through
No matter what you do
But if all that's true
What about you?
What about you?
