ABBA - Elaine lyrics

You hate, you scream, you swear
And still you never reach him
You curse, you try to scare
But you can never teach him

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
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine

You know they're going to 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)
Elaine, Elaine, Elaine (They have your mind
They'll take your soul)

Now that you're gone
You know they're going to get you
Now that you're gone
You know they'll never let you go

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)

Now that you're gone
You know they're going to get you
Now that you're gone
You know they'll never let you
Now that you're gone
You know they're going to get you
Now that you're gone
