Chris Rea - The Road to Hell video free download

Lyrics:

Part One -

Stood still on a highway

I saw a woman

By the side of the road

With a face that I knew like my own

Reflected in my window

Well she walked up to my quarterlight

And she bent down real slow

A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadow

She said 'son what are you doing here

My fear for you has turned me in my grave'

I said 'mama I come to the valley of the rich

Myself to sell'

She said 'son this is the road to hell'

On your journey cross the wilderness

From the desert to the well

You have strayed upon the motorway to hell

Part Two

Well I'm standing by the river

But the water doesn't flow

It boils with every poison you can think of

And I'm underneath the streetlight

But the light of joy I know

Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows

And the perverted fear of violence

Chokes the smile on every face

And common sense is ringing out the bell

This ain't no technological breakdown

Oh no, this is the road to hell

And all the roads jam up with credit

And there's nothing you can do

It's all just pieces of paper flying away from you

Oh look out world, take a good look

What comes down here

You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well

This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway

Oh no, this is the road

Said this is the road

This is the road to hell
