Hellbound on a Barstool

I think I'm going down, somehow I don't care
There's a band that's playing pretty and a lot of ladies there
Dancing quite divine, angels keeping time
But I cant take my eyes of the exit sign
CHORUS:
And I'm hellbound on a barstool
G/f#
Wond'ring where it all went wrong
Hellbound on a barstool
G/f#
While the angels play their song
I try to sign along
But I fear I'm
Too far gone
A poor man begs a dollar, says he needs it for a ride
I ask him where he's going, he says to the other side
I wish him best of luck, he says it's worth a try
And I don't have much money but for those angels I oblige
Would I leave here if I could?
The angels tell me that their offering 's still good
But I'm attended by Mephistopholes, gotten messed up and down on my knees
When the lights go on the angels leave, will there be a light in me?
