All your believing won't save you now
The players are leaving, but they don't know how
The city's bleeding; the heart and soul are gone
The music's seething; it won't last very long

Death walks behind you; it follows in your wake
Scratches at your fingers; tears at your face
All of the sudden, it's give and take
The devil's winning the human race

Damnation, Damnation Alley
Don't walk alone through the valley, yeah
Damnation, Damnation Alley
You'll never get out of here alive

Damnation Damnation Alley
Oh what an awful place to have to be
You play so hard and it means nothin'
I just can't see what they want me to be

Damnation Damnation Alley
Don't walk alone through the valley, yeah
Damnation Damnation Alley
You'll never get out of here alive
