Dead end girl on the outside looking in
On a dead end world in which she cannot live
And she'd love to leave for someplace all alone
And she'd love to live
Far from every face or name she's ever known

No, I can't say I blame her
No, I can't say I blame her

My oh my dead end girl

My oh my dead end girl made a promise to herself
That this dead end world would be forced to eat itself at gunpoint

No, I can't say I blame her
No, how can you blame her?

My oh my dead end girl

My oh my dead end girl on the outside looking in
On a dead end world
One of which she cannot live
And she'd love to leave for someplace nice and cold
And she'd love to live far from me or anyone she's ever known

My dead end girl

But then I stopped and took the picture,
Found myself looking in it,
Found myself drowning in it,
Lost myself for a minute,
The same face in the same mirror
With his eyes a little clearer
Read what the reflection's sending,
This is only the beginning

My dead end girl
My dead end girl
No, dead end girl
No, dead end girl
