Lyrics

THE DEAD END Words and Music by Bruce Garnitz

Mind if I sit here? Bartender, Scotch, no - no ice... Thanks. What do I do? Well what I do is not who I am.
Oh, okay. You wanna know where I work?
Well, it's on the other side of town - the meat packing plant
How's that working out for me - Not so good, I'm a vegetarian!
What's it like workin' at the meat packing plant? Oh, man, Let me tell 'ya...
Verse:
The place is colder than the Arctic Ocean
There's not too much chance of a promotion
That I can see... I'm just a worker bee
I refuse to let this job demand devotion
They seem to have a preconceived notion
Of who I should be... Lord, they're killin' me
Chorus:
Just when I thought I had worked it all out
I find myself here again
Just when I thought I had taken another route
Oooh.. Oooh...
I find myself at a Dead End... at a Dead End
(Spoken Dialogue)
No , I'm not from around here. How did I end up walkin' into this joint?
Well lemme tell 'ya... It's been a hellacious day
I started my shift early this morning and there was this new gal that was workin' the line
I thought I noticed her givin' me the eye, thought I noticed her checkin' me out
So I started up a little conversation...
Now I know what you're gonna say - "You shouldn't co-mingle with your co-workers"
"You shouldn't dip your pen in the company ink", so to speak
Well, I kind of forgot about all that and I started layin' it on kind of thick...
a little spicy mustard, a little ketchup and then I started spreadin' some sweeeet sweet relish
Verse:
It didn't take much persuasion
To get an invitation
To her room... who knew I'd leave so soon
I stepped in to a sticky situation
I could sense the aggravation
In her perfume... Eau de Doom
Chorus:
Just when I thought I had worked it all out
I find myself here again
Just when I thought I had taken another route
Oooh.. Oooh...
I find myself at a Dead End
Bridge:
Why do I make these decisions
That end up in all these collisions
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know...
Chorus:
Just when I thought I had worked it all out
I find myself here again
Just when I thought I had taken that other route
Oooh.. Oooh...
I find myself at a Dead End... at a Dead End

(Spoken Dialogue)
Bartender - hit me again Say, what's the name of this joint?
You got to be kidding me! Really?
Hook:
I find myself... at The Dead End
