Avenue Lyrics

What is wrong at the end of the day?
What is really wrong, no one dares to say.
You know you're wrong when there's only one right,
but what is wrong when right is out of sight?

Right rode away long ago,
before rescuing wrong from below.
I might be mistaken I know,
but hey, we need to be somewhat
foolish, feebleminded, wrong and senseless.

Right rode off long ago,
there's nothing more you need to know,
there's nothing more you need to show.
Let us disagree, cause wrong was made for you to be.

What is false when we can't hear no more,
and there is nothing to cover for?
What is wrong in this old wasted game?
May right and wrong be one and the same?

Right rode away long ago,
before rescuing wrong from below.
I might be mistaken I know,
but hey, we need to be somewhat
foolish, feebleminded, wrong and senseless.

Right rode off long ago,
there's nothing more you need to know,
there's nothing more you need to show.
Let us disagree, cause wrong was made for you to be.

In one of the most beautiful ways this song tells that you can't always do everything right.

My Opinion

Brilliant song. Her music is so underrated.

What I gather from this song is: you can't do anything right. EVER.

..but she puts it more nicely.

Love the last line of the chorus ("'Cause wrong was made, for you to be"). It's like she's saying, you're wrong but that's okay.
