Electric Light Orchestra - The Point Of No Return Lyrics

By the time I'd slipped the ball and chain,
I was heading down the road again
I was heading for somewhere I shouldn't be.

And I heard you shouting me who wait,
Better turn back now or it's too late,
'Cos it's heading for the point of no return.

[Chorus:]
No return
No return
It was getting to the point of no return.

We could only run, we could never walk,
We could only shout, we could never talk.
We were living way too close to the border line.

While the city boys were hanging out
Trying to clean their shares in the laundromat,
It was getting to the point of no return.

[Chorus]

I just had to leave couldn't stay no more,
Down the elevator to the door
It was getting to the point of no return.

[Chorus 2x]

It was getting to the point of no return.
It was getting to the point of no return.
