The road to hell is paved with our intentions
Good, bad and in-between
We may think we’re all children of God
As ride along in our black limousine
We act like what we think must be righteous
We hope that we appear to do good
We believe that heaven is a-waitin’
And if not, well, we imagine it should
We may think we’re going up, up, up
We may think we’re blowing up, up, up
But then it’s down we go
Down we go
Down we go
We’re going down
We’re going down, down, down
The road to salvation is bumpy and fraught
We never know where it will lead
Just when we think we got it all sown up
Our wounds rip open and bleed
What do we see when look in the mirror
Is that someone we think we know
Or is it a stranger staring back at us
Joined together like a portmanteau
We may think we’re at the top, top, top
We may think we'll never stop, stop stop
