Destination Hell

How did we get here? How did we get to this barren dark place?
Come my love, we can leave, leave this waste of space
I know a way out of here, I’ve seen all the signs
This can’t be our final destination, happiness we can still find

	You led us here, here to this “barren place”
	I followed every wrong turn you made, every mistake!
	How can I trust you, trust you to find the right way?
	How can I believe you, believe anything you say?

Take my hand darling, trust me and just take a chance
Let me give you wonder, beauty, song and dance
Where I want us to go is an old and ancient land
We could make love on the beaches of fine white sand

	That place sounds wonderful, but here is where I’ll stay
	Trust I no longer have, take a chance…no way!
              This is my home now, just go and be gone
              Find someone else to make love to, someone else to con	
  
Damn you woman, I’m trying to make amends!
Why can’t you see that, let me make up for my sins?
I know we are here mainly due to my error
Are you free from mistakes that led us here?


	Blah blah blah, that’s all I hear
	As soon as we arrived, things became clear
	I want nothing more from you
              Please just go and start new
