This is Only Going to Go One Way

[Verse 1]

It's impossible to forget

The time when there were six ways to Sunday

All the same, forget it you must

’Cause this is only going to go one way

[Chorus]

A peg-leg captain's ghost once said these words to me

"When forced to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea

Flip a piece of eight in the air

'Cause this is only going to go one way"

[Verse 2]

She’s lost count of all the occasions

She's considered punching his face in

Deep down they know, come judgment day

They'll hang together side by side, come what may

[Chorus]

He knows he's often dreamt of shortening her life

She's felt her hand discreetly moving for the kitchen knife

Get a room, you're meant for each other

This is only going to go one way

[Bridge]

An old magician said

While swallowing strychnine

Too bad my greatest trick can only

Be performed one time

[Chorus]

As we hurtle down the expressway

Buckle up, prepare for the new day

Open up the doors to the bomb bay

Invoke Geronimo

Brace yourself, your destiny's written

This is only going to go one way
