Growing up was easy For some, but not me And getting older Is the same old story They say I've come too far Too late to turn back now So I guess there's nowhere left to go Say it loud for the whole world to know Let me die on stage Singing the last song I know Let the spotlight shine the skin Off my bones Yes, I'm a long way from normal And not much left to go 'Til I get to the end of my rope End of my rope, yeah End of my rope, yeah End of my rope, oh yeah Tall tales can't cover Up what can't be seen Feeling better Is the same old pipe dream My shadows are breaking My sun is fading Yeah I'm making light of my misery Shining bright For the whole world to see Let me die on stage Singing the last song I know Let the spotlight shine the skin Off my bones Well, I'm a long way from normal And not much left to go Oh, 'til I get to the end of my rope End of my rope, yeah End of my rope, yeah End of my rope, oh yeah End of my rope, yeah End of my rope, yeah End of my rope Well I'm at the end of my rope
