verse 1
It's impossible to forget the
time when there were six ways to Sunday
All the same forget it you must 'cause
this is only going to go one way
A peg-leg captain's ghost
once said these words to me
when forced to choose between the devil
and the deep blue sea
Flip a piece of eight in the air 'cause
this is only going to go one way
verse 2
She's lost count of all the occasions
she's considered punching his face in
Deep down they know, come judgment day, they'll
hang together side-by-side come what may
He knows he's often dreamt
of shortening her life
She's felt her hand discreetly moving
for the kitchen knife
Get a room, you're meant for each other
This is only going to go one way
Instrumental
verse 3
An old magician said
While swallowing strychnine
Too bad my greatest trick can only
be performed one time
As we hurtle down the expressway
Buckle up, prepare for the new day
Open up the doors to the bomb bay
Invoke Geronimo
Brace yourself, your destiny's written
This is only going to go one way
