Long Black Road - Electric Light Orchestra

Yeah, our story goes He went down to the crossroads He sat down and kept his eyes closed Well, everyone has a price, child And what it cost him Was his soul You think you're getting away No escape from the deal you made You walked right into his plan Run as fast as you think you can Back from wherever you came Call the devil by any name Oh no, now who do you blame? Should have listened to what I say What I say, what I say, yeah I don't know if I'll be coming home again, home again No, I don't know if I'll be coming home It's a long road to hell without no soul Just when you think you're getting away No escape from the deal you made You walked right into his plan Run as fast as you think you can Back from wherever you came Call the devil by any name Oh no, now who do you blame? Should have listened to what I say What I say, what I say, yeah Let me tell you, it's a hard road to hell without no soul

There's a long hard road ahead But a voice inside me said You know there's something, oh, that you need to know It's gonna be alright Said there's something that you need to know It's gonna be alright When in this life, in this life When I can only turn my chin I know it's gonna be alright When this big old town is closing in And I have lost again, oh no Here I could stay but I'll keep moving on Here I could stay but I'll keep moving on Could be I won't be wrong There's a long hard road ahead But a voice inside me said Said there's something, oh, that you need to know It's gonna be alright Said there's something that you need to know It's gonna be alright

A moving stream of information That is floating on the wind The secrets never end And now they call They sing, they play, they dance for you From out of the blue What can you do? The secret messages are calling to me endlessly They call to me across the air The messages across the atmosphere They whisper in your ear, they're calling everywhere Where words cascade like rainbows Tumbling from the sky Then I'll be there, I'll be there When messages will call to you Their secrets all around Without a sound, they're all around The secret messages are calling to me endlessly They call to me across the air The messages across the atmosphere They whisper in your ear, they're calling everywhere They're calling everywhere Those secret messages that spill Into the air from far away So far away A flowing river of illusion Running with confusion Never gone - it goes on and on The secret messages are calling to me endlessly They call to me across the air The messages across the atmosphere They whisper in your ear, they're calling everywhere Secret messages Secret messages Secret messages
