I used to go around thinking life was an easy game
Too late I realized someone'd set me up for a surprise
That's for sure
I didn't know there was such a big black hole around the bend
A tunnel with a trap, a maze, all dead-ends inside

Like a dark endless hole dragging you like sirens from the deep
Like a one-way escalator takes you easy to the top but down
you walk
All by yourself

She was pretty young and you were pretty smart
I was so naive and now Lucilla's gone

I was kicked into that hole in the name of injustice and your law
No way you could have known no way you could have
known just what you started
There and then
Not unless you were the devil and a low down black hearted butcher
'Cause I wasn't butchered easy I was stung
All over
Stung
And finally fried
Oh yeah

What a really bad deal was losing time all over the line
In a teeny weeny boat in a river so rough
And there are rocks all over

She was pretty young and you were pretty smart
I was so naive and now Lucilla's gone

I've seen so many dead-ends now I have to face one fact
That the one that walked in is not the one that's gonna walk out
No!

She was pretty young and you were pretty smart
I was so naive and now Lucilla's gone
