Elaine, Elaine, Elaine 
You know they're gonna get you 
You try to break away 
But they will never let you 
It's a dead end street 
They tie your hands and tie your feet 
And the street is narrow 
A nowhere lane 
A nowhere train for Elaine, Elaine, Elaine 
You're like a goldfish in a bowl 
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine 
They have your mind, they'll take your soul 
 
You come, you stay, you go 
It really doesn't matter 
You've done it all before 
By now they'll know the pattern 
It's a dead end street 
They tie your hands and tie your feet 
And the street is narrow 
A nowhere lane 
A nowhere train for Elaine, Elaine, Elaine 
You're like a goldfish in a bowl

Now that you're gone, you know they're gonna get you 
Now that you're gone, you know they'll never let you
