[Verse 1]

I could move to a small town and become a waitress

Say my name was Stacy and I was figuring things out

See, my baby, he left me

And I don't feel like it tonight


[Pre-Chorus]

I remember sleepless nights, I remember Chicago

I remember the music from the downstairs bar

"Girls, they just want to have fun"

And the rest of us hardly know who we are


[Chorus]

It's a dark, twisted road we are on

And we all have to walk it alone


[Verse 2]

I could join the circus when they come through town

Me and the freaks, the tamers and that old sad clown

I'd walk 'cross that tight rope head held high

So close to death I never more alive


[Chorus]

But you know it's a dark, twisted road we are on

And we all have to walk it alone


[Bridge]

I could drive out to the ocean and just stare in awe

I could walk 'cross the beaches and sleep under the stars

Our love would seem trivial and obscure

Now we'll never feel lost anymore
