Intro 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 Outro
