Intor:
He had three w
hole dollars,
a worn out car
A wife who was
leaving for g
ood
Life's made of
trouble, worr
y, pain and st
ruggle
She wrote good
bye in the dus
t on the hood
They found a m
ap of Missouri
, lipstick on
a glass
They must have
left in the m
iddle of the n
ight
And I.. wan
t to know the
same thing
Everyone wants
to know, how'
s it going to
end
Behind the smo
ke coloured cu
rtain the girl
disappeared
They found out
that the ring
was a fake
A tree born cr
ooked will nev
er grow straig
ht
She sunk like
a hammer into
the lake
Long lost lett
er and an old
leaky boat
Promises are n
ever meant to
keep
And I... want
to know the sa
me thing
I wanna know h
ow's it going
to end
The barn leane
d over, the vu
ltures dried t
heir wings
The moon climb
ed up an empty
sky
The sun sank d
own behind the
tree on a hil
l
There's a kill
er and he's co
ming through t
he rye
But maybe he's
the father of
that lost lit
tle girl
It's hard to t
ell in this li
ght
And I... want
to know the sa
me thing
Dm Am /B /C
Everyone wants to know how's it going to end
Tied your wag
on and you plo
ugh over the b
ones of the de
ad
Out among the
roses and the
weeds
And you can ne
ver go back an
d the answer i
s no
And wishing fo
r it only make
s it bleed
Joe Tornabenny
was broken on
the whell
Shane and Bum
Mahoney on the
lamb
The grain was
as gold as She
ila's hair
All the way fr
om Liverpool w
ith all we cou
ld steal
He was robbed
of twenty doll
ars his body f
ound stripped
Cast inot the
harbour there
and drowned
And I... want
to know the sa
me thing
We all wanna k
now how's it g
oing to end
The sirens are
snaking their
way up the hi
ll
I'ts last call
somewhere in
the world
The reptiles b
lend in with t
he colour of t
he street
Life is sweet
at the edge of
a razor
And down in th
e first row of
an old pictur
e show
An old man is
asleep the cre
dit starts to
roll
And I want to
know the same
thing
We all wanna know how's it going to end
I want to know
the same thin
g
We all wanna k
now how's it g
oing to end
And I just wan
na know the sa
me thing
I wanna know h
ow's it going
to end
