Down By the Great Mistake Lyrics

    He: I never felt so close to you.
    She: I never been so far away.
    He: And I know what you're going through...
    She: So is that all you can say to me? Is that all you can say to me?

    He: I used to know you when.
    She: But you turned your back on me.
    He: I just got turned around myself...
    She: Then what do you expect of me? Just what do you expect of me?

    They: It's a crazy world we live in,
    It's a crazy road we take.
    We could walk this way blinfolded, down by the Great Mistake.

    She: You used to be my hero, boy, 'til you parked the car in the lake.
    He: That wasn't strictly my idea, you know. I parked
    down by the Great Mistake.
    She: You should've used your emergency brake.

    They: There'll be a lot of compromisin',
    And if that don't sound enticing,
    Your money ain't no good here, down by the Great Mistake.

    He: I think it's gonna work out just fine.
    She: You can think that way if you like.
    He: What would make you say a thing like that?
    She: I'm not sayin' anything. I'm not sayin' anything.

    They: There'll be a lot of compromisin',
    And if that don't sound inviting,
    We can walk this way blinfolded, down by the Great Mistake.
