lyrics

Last night in my dreams my house was hit by streaming waves of water
it was torn from the rock and like a floating dock it drifted to the sea
there were no more roads, no more places go
only ice cold streams in these sad wet dreams

And the road is nicely paved on the way to hell
the road is nicely paved on the way to hell
we've been living good we've been living all to well.
singing la da dee as we empty out the well.
We know we're going to go, we got to.
We know it's going to go, we got to.

With faded light comes faded night at the foot of an island
that liquid life sure gives all right, let's us burn it up all night
but we're ok the wind will blow away
our guilty thoughts, our city smog

And the road is nicely paved on the way to hell
yeah the road is nicely paved on the way to hell.
We spent so much time filling up the knowledge well
now it overflows as we're caught under its spell
as we all move to the ringing of the bell
happened so slow that we all could hardly tell.
Now we're living in a world of make believe
pushed ahead by fear and daily routine
and if we stop and ask what all of it means,
We'll we know were going to go, yeah we got to.
We know it's going to go, you we got to.
We know we're going to go.
