By the time I'd slipped the ball and chain I was heading down the road again I was heading for somewhere I shouldn't be And I heard you shouting me who wait Better turn back now or it's too late 'Cause it's heading for the point of no return No return No return It was getting to the point of no return We could only run, we could never walk We could only shout, we could never talk We were living way too close to the border line While the city boys were hanging out Trying to clean their shares in the laundromat It was getting to the point of no return No return No return It was getting to the point of no return I just had to leave couldn't stay no more Down the elevator to the door It was getting to the point of no return No return No return It was getting to the point of no return No return No return It was getting to the point of no return It was getting to the point of no return It was getting to the point of no return
