Once I had a close friend   I knew him for quite a while   He seemed alright to me   We had this deal together   Tied up my money and time   And then he went away   Taking all that was mine       Oh, well, things crumble to an end   Hell, we all die in the end   Die in the end       Once it was fun to worry   About who was in control   Could look into the future   But now it don't seem right   Passion is filling the air   Profits are better than life   And things are harder to bear       Oh, well, things crumble to an end   Hell, we all die in the end   Die in the end       It's a dead end   Dead end   Dead end       Once I had a lover   I knew her for quite a while   She seemed alright to me   But then she was gone   She took my lovin' and time   Taking all that was mine   And leaving me far behind       Oh, well, things crumble to an end   Hell, we all die in the end   Die in the end       It's a dead end   Dead end   Dead end
