[Verse 1]
Took a walk down Hell's pavement
Took a walk down pulled by the tide
I had to make some new arrangement
Oh I thought I'd reach the other side
Then someone opened up their mouth to talk
They said: "You ain't where you think you are
You just landed on the devil's sidewalk"
[Verse2]
Had a minor misunderstanding
With a street lamp one night
The smell of burning rubber hit my senses
I thought I'd reach the other side
When someone opened up their mouth to talk
They said: "You ain't where you think you are
You're just stranded on the devil's sidewalk
You're just stranded on the devil's sidewalk"
[Bridge]
And it's cold, so cold
And it's cold, so cold
And it's cold, so cold
[Hook]
No-one's got names, under the flames
Everyone screams, hope it's a dream
Nothing makes sense, everything's tense
Wish I could say what it meant
[Verse 3]
Took a long look down at the mirror
Couldn't see my face at all
Just those straight lines, leading to nowhere
Oh I thought I'd reach the other side
When somebody opened up their mouth as if to talk
They said: "Hey, you ain't where you think you are
You just landed on the devil's sidewalk
You just landed on the devil's sidewalk"
