(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
