Lyrics

PURGATORY ROAD

There’s a sign at the top of Purgatory Road
Pointing to a chasm, deep and dark enough to hold
All the lies, all the lies that we have told 
And I know and you know, we belong in that cold

There’s a beach at the end of Purgatory Road
 And the sand there is hot, hot enough to burn my soul
Water can’t, water can’t fill that hole 
And I know, and you know we can’t give back what we stole

Ain’t no angels 
Singing down on 
Winding, blinding Purgatory Road
All the devils 
It’s where they grow old 
Living down on Purgatory Road

Ain’t no angels 
Singing down on 
Winding, blinding Purgatory Road
All the devils 
It’s where they grow old 
Living down on Purgatory Road

There’s a place that meets Purgatory Road 
Paradise Avenue, just out of reach for me and you 
Up the hill, down the hill and then straight through 
But now I know and you know, we aren’t the only fools

Ain’t no angels 
Singing down on 
Winding, blinding Purgatory Road
All the devils 
It’s where they grow old 
Living down on Purgatory Road

Sinner’s come and sinner’s go
But I will dwell here, evermore
Sinner’s come and sinner’s go
But I will dwell here, evermore

Ain’t no angels 
Singing down on 
Winding, blinding Purgatory Road
All the devils
 It’s where they grow old
 Living down on Purgatory Road

Ain’t no angels 
Singing down on 
All the devils
 It’s where they grow old

Ain’t no angels 
Singing down on 
All the devils
 It’s where they grow old 

Ain’t no angels 
Singing down on
All the devils 
It’s where they grow old 
Living down on Purgatory Road
