Yesterday I saw a man in a dead end street

I said never

'Cause when I looked into his eyes

He looked familiar to me

I said never

Thought it couldn't be true

This was a man I once knew

I said never

He was all alone without a place to call home

I said never

Looking at me, looking at you

Why did your dreams never come true?

Ain't never gonna see your name up in lights

No, never

And if anyone was you were qualified

Never

You might have still been sane

If you'd stuck with Mary Jane

But you never

Ain't it strange how a whole life can change

Never

Looking at me, looking at you

Why did your dreams never come true?

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

Now you're living your life in a bottle of rum

I said never

Got to make a fast move before the police come

I said never

Don't it seem strange

How your whole life can change

Never

Might have been sane

If you'd stuck with Mary Jane

I said never

Looking at me, looking at you

Why did your dreams never come true?

Oh, yesterday I saw a man in a dead end street

I said never

Looked into his eyes

He looked familiar to me

I said never

You were all alone without a place to call home

Never

I thought it couldn't be true

This was a man I once knew

I said never

Looking at me, looking at you

Why did our dreams never come true?

Oh no, no, no, no

Never

Never
