One-Way Street - Pet Shop Boys

Driving down

A one-way street

I thought you’d understand

Of all the people that I meet

We’re still not in command

It’s often said

There’s no escape from fate

I’ve even read

It’s a function of the state

Though we may be out on parole

I don’t care

I’d still like to think

I’m in control

Driving down

A one-way street

I thought you’d understand

Of all the people that I meet

We’re still not in command

I took a road

That lead me straight to you

All of my life

Now seemed overdue

I’ll state the obvious

'cause it’s true

I don’t care

That this one-way street

Led to you

Driving down

A one-way street

I thought you’d understand

Of all the people that I meet

We’re still not in command

Travelling without a map

It’s tricky

Too much information

You’ve lost me

Without you

I pray

Together

We’ll go all the way

Driving down

A one-way street

Led me straight to you

All my life was in retreat

Now it’s overdue

Driving down

A one-way street

Drove me round the bend

Life is just a one-way street

From start to end
