Hazy eyes with laudanum and mandrake
Struggle not to lose their grasp on sanity
Amused half to death by the dancing moths
As they smash on the headlights of my Firebird
Virgil!
The musky scent of man's ruin reaches out to me
I roll the dice and hit the gas to hear my body's song
The living flame at every corner waves and smiles
The night is young and seems to spiral on and on and on
Hey, Virgil
Will you guide me through these battered streets?
Hey, Virgil
Will you show me those who life have seen?
Hey, Virgil
I wanna hear another spooky tale
Hey, Virgil
Walk me through that place where wonders dwell
The glitter of wet skin reflects the traffic lights
A storm of earthly colors
And sweet undivine deeds
Gifts that only such a twilight can reveal
To a mind that reels enthralled south by the reverie
Hey, Virgil
Will you guide me through these battered streets?
Hey, Virgil
Will you show me those who life have seen?
Hey, Virgil
I wanna hear another spooky tale
Hey, Virgil
Walk me through that place which you call Hell
I look for you, my brother
I hope you look for me too
I'm headed downtown, wanna feel the heat
I hope you can join my ride
Without you ain't such a joyride
I'm going downtown, going down
Hey, Virgil
I'm going downtown, going down
Hey, Virgil
Walk me through that place which you call Hell
Hey, Virgil
I'm going downtown, going down
Hey, Virgil
Walk me through that place which you call Hell
