Down the Wrong Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have become what I criticized, oh, oh
The porn queen in my deck of lies, oh, oh
Where were you?
In a caravan next to a fairground ride
You're left here with nothing but something to hide

[Chorus]
I'm back on Gasoline Alley
Where the smoke looks like a misty valley
And the dotted hills were pills gone down the wrong way

[Verse 2]
In the service of a king and his kingdom too, oh, oh
I was the man and the woman, and the who knows who
The good news
You made her an offer that she can't refuse
The truth is I have nothing to lose

[Chorus]
I'm back on Gasoline Alley
Where the smoke looks like a misty valley
And those dotted hills were pills gone down the wrong way

[Bridge]
You could say
You did it the only way, your own way
But life goes on and it's another day
[Chorus]
I'm back on Gasoline Alley
Where the smoke looks like a misty valley
And those dotted hills are pills gone down the wrong way
I'm back on Gasoline Alley
Where the smoke looks like a misty valley
And those dotted hills were just mother's little pills
Gone down the wrong way

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
