Ride to Hell - Horslips

You’ll find him hard to recognise

Cos he won’t dress in black

He wears a suit of gold lamé

With velvet front and back

But he can touch your trembling heart

Can touch your very soul

He’ll take you with him when he leaves

He’ll make your dreams turn old

Some people say that he’s a fiend

A devil in disguise

He’ll promise love and happiness

Bright lights before your eyes

And still you know you can’t refuse

No matter what you think

You just got to taste the glamour

Ovations as you sink

Ride on your nightmare

On your ride to hell

Ride on your nightmare

On your ride

Ride on your nightmare

On your ride to hell

Ride on your nightmare

On your ride

He alone can read the signs

And he can read them well

But where he gets his power

There’s no one here can tell

So if you’re out alone at night

Be sure to take a friend

Cos it gets vicious lonely

In a world that never ends

He’s sure to come a calling

When the shades of night are drawn

A twisted, black thorn in his hand

He’ll linger until dawn

You wish to stay forever young

But only he knows how

It’s his blessing, it’s his curse

And it’s your decision now…
