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