about

There's a price to pay. For all of it. It never comes cheap.

lyrics

and i've done what i can
cheating and gambling
for some dosh in my hand

when I crash on the pavement
wake up in my sick

I'll get up on my knees
to the gods i will pray
for a dance with the demons
on the devil's highway


here is me going down
with a promise for you
if you give me a last kiss
you'll be going down too

when i'm ill on my pallet
coughing blood sweating speed

when i'm down in the gutter
i look up into the sky
and the sky's never blue
and i wish i could die


now i'm all empty pockets
and they want their pay back
in return for their favours
those angels in black


and the crowd will be cheering
as they walk me away
for my last dance
down the devil's highway

and the crowd will be cheering
as they walk me away
for my last dance
down the devil's highway
