Welcome

It's a highway to hell

The holy roadside

Step right this way)



And they all lay down, lay down

Holy roadside



(Holy roadside

Like a scarlet glistening necklace

On a whore you can have, but never own

I try with jaw-grip determination to temper the beast

Black and winding, whip-thrust

Running ever-on, unthinking, unsleeping

Purposeful that way

The naive never grieve

But believe in their purchase and lay

Holy roadside)



And they all lay down, lay down

Holy roadside



Way up on high

The angels Hawaiian

They spread their wings and they smile for a while

(Raise your voices)

Hey children, can't you see

Everbody's got the right to be free



Yeah, we all lay down, lay down

Holy roadside



(All our heros gone before us

May their work forever live on)



I wish, I wish, I wish

I could come back in the next life

As a black labrador soakin' up the sun



One and all lay down, lay down

Holy roadside



(It's a highway to hell

Holy roadside

Where the atheist drops to his knees and prays)



Oh lord, oh lord won't you spare me

Won't you send me one last sign

Let me go, don't you know

I can mend my ways

It's way before my time



And we all lay down, lay down

Holy roadside

Lay down, lay down

Holy roadside

Lay down, lay down

Holy roadside
