Reaching up from hell’s gates I’m gripping onto sunshine So tightly, I can’t feel my hand The sun blinds my eyes, but I feel fine I got so lost in clouds of smoke and drowned in each shot glass Now that the sky is clear and my bottles dry I know which ways up and which ways down I rode on the devil’s back, he brought me everywhere I’ve seen the worst and felt it too It’s only up from here When you’ve bathed in the red hot depths of hell anywhere else is paradise
