End Of The Rope Lyrics - Glean - They Might Be Giants

{1} 

How thoughtless of me 

How dumb can you be? 

Hopeless, wasn't that 

What you called me and in fact 

It was even more true than you knew 

{1} 

Where did the end of the rope go? 

I forget now, did I let go? 

After you left me hanging on your words 

Which hung down like a rope 

Where did the end of it go? 

I'll never know

{2} 

You're gone, but I'm still there 

Clawing at the air 

Now it's curtains for me 

And I'll spend eternity 

Doing joyless cartwheels in the void 

{2} 

Where did the end of the rope go? 

I forget now, did I let go? 

Long ago you left me hanging on your words 

Which hung down like a rope from the sky 

Where did the end of it go? 

No one can ever know

Where did the end of the rope go? 

I forget now, did I let go? 

Once upon a time you left me hanging from your words 

Which hung down in the ether like a rope from the sky 

Wherever did the end of it go? 

No one can ever know
