Soft-soaped on the road to hell
So many times I tripped and fell
No changes left the sky is falling down on me
One step from the demons' fire can't stop the train
The flames get higher too late to save me
The wall is coming down on me
Broken wishes and broken dreams
Close to the edge I cut it lean
No regrets the angels gonna cry on me
Push the tempo push the time
No excusus not this time
No way out the ground is opening up on me
Can you feel the beat
Coming from the street
Pour rain down on me
They try to keep me on a long thin chain
Thanks but no thanks just the same
You saw it coming the devil has got the jump on me
Lost soul on the road to hell
Wind up the motor and ring the bell
No stopping now pain is coming down on me
Straight time on the road to hell
No mercy time at the wishing well
No turning back angels going to cry for me
