"No Way Out Of The Wilderness" lyrics

I see the blood on his dirty rose
I hear his siren wail
Like a weary ghost
And I just can't get to sleep

I hear a kid screaming down the block
You can't open your own door after dark
Where the price of life is cheap
And the sun never seems to shine
And this hell so freakin high
Just like a prison that touches the sky

There's no way out of the wilderness
Take a look around (whoa)
In the shadow of a gun, I live my life
And the only way it goes 'round here is down
Going down down down

My kid brother's got a silver plate
I told him not to use it but he's not afraid
It's the only way he goes
It's hand to mouth in this twilight zone
The kind of place where the crowds won't go alone
And only dirty water flows
Every night you can hear me breathe
Give me money enough to get away
I think I'd rather die than stay

There's no way out of the wilderness
Take a look around (whoa)
In the shadow of a gun, I live my life
And the only way it goes 'round here is down
Can't face another day
No, I got to get away
I'm living my life on a razor's edge
I'm walking blind on a ledge

Every night you can hear me pray
Give me money enough to get away
I think I'd rather die than stay

'Cause there's no way out of the wilderness
Take a look around (whoa)
In the shadow of a gun, I live my life
And the only way is down
Well take a look around (whoa)
In the shadow of a gun, I live my life
And the only way to go 'round here is down
Going down down down
Ooh
Mmmm
Know where you are
You're gonna jump now baby
That's right
Ooh gotta try
Hey

You're all going down
Oh yeah
Yeah
Hey, baby
