There's a place I know too well been there and lived to tell
And I can see that you and me are almost halfway there
We're gettin' much too close feels like I've seen a ghost
I took a vow if I made it out you'd never catch me there again
No time to wonder why no time for long goodbyes
Last chance for gettin' out is fadin' with the light
I don't want to be around when the night comes down
On the lonesome side of town
You can hear each footstep fall run from shadows on the wall
And every day is just the same as the one that came before
You won't find any peace not here not on these streets
Misery loves company and there's enough to go around
No time to wonder why...
(On the lonesome side) on the lonesome side of town

No time to wonder why...
