Snakes and Ladders Lyrics by Bill Ward

Ward One: Along the Way

1990

I want to stop, but I'm feeling go
When I'm saying, "Yes," I mean, "No, no, no."
Mercy, mercy, can this mean
I've got a taste of what you'd rather have me be?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Patience, patience wearing thin
Don't guide me through where you ain't been
It takes a whole damn lot to wear me down, down, down
And right now friend, I'm about to stand my ground
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Sit in your chair, let down your hair, don't be so afraid
Take in the view, it's only you, don't be so afraid
Stay in the sun and leave the gun, don't be so afraid
Get out your way, you'll maybe stay, don't be so afraid
Is this the way it has to be
While I'm still here making out with me
All components stamped with pride
I've got the makings of another suicide
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Push or pull, just get me out of here
Consider this a warning and I hope I'm clear
I don't know how I'll make it while I own the ace
I'd like to give it back before I pin it to your face
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
I want to look, so I turn away
Then I slip and slide when it's time to pray
Quiet faith, don't scream and shout
I haven't died enough to find the guts to let you out
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
[Repeat Chorus]
