They Might Be Giants
End of the Rope
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
How thoughtless of me
How dumb can you be?
Hopeless, wasn’t that
What you called me and in fact
It was even more true than you knew

[Chorus 1]
Where did the end of the rope go?
I forget now, did I let go?
After you left me hanging on your words
Which hung down like a rope
Where did the end of it go?
I’ll never know

[Verse 2]
You’re gone, but I’m still there
Clawing at the air
Now it’s curtains for me
And I’ll spend eternity
Doing joyless cartwheels in the void

[Chorus 2]
Where did the end of the rope go?
I forget now, did I let go?
Long ago you left me hanging on your words
Which hung down like a rope from the sky
Where did the end of it go?
No one can ever know
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus 3]
Where did the end of the rope go?
I forget now, did I let go?
Once upon a time you left me hanging from your words
Which hung down in the ether like a rope from the sky
Wherever did the end of it go?
No one can ever know
