The Mountain Goats
Only One Way
[Verse 1]
You're gonna get a wrinkle on your forehead
You're gonna get a click in your knee
You're gonna tell the doctor that you can't sleep
And you're up every night until three

[Verse 2]
You're gonna make a bargain with the bad guys
You're gonna make some choices you regret
There's no place to hide from the prophecy
Since nobody told you, it falls to me

[Chorus]
There's only one way out
There's only one way out
There's only one way through
No matter what you do

[Verse 3]
You're gonna have to watch for thе signs
You're gonna have to learn how to rеad
Nobody's gonna hand you a flashlight
You're gonna have to steal what you need

[Verse 4]
You're gonna have some trouble at the border
They're never gonna let you forget
I'm just passing on the information
Beaming down to me from a distant station
[Chorus]
There's only one way out
There's only one way out
I've been told there's only one way through
No matter what you do

[Outro]
But if all that's true
What about you
What about you?
