Song X Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey ho, away we go
We're on the road to never
Where life's a joy for girls and boys
And only will get better

[Refrain]
Hey ho, away we go
We're on the road to never

[Verse 2]
Romeo and Juliet
The doctor and his case
Without a plan they left the van
And there were laid to waste

[Refrain]
Hey ho, away we go
We're on the road to never

[Verse 3]
The priest was there with sandy hair
Religion by his side
He saw his law was broken
The punishment was applied
[Refrain]
Hey ho, away we go
Along the road to never
Hey ho, away we go
We're on the road to never

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
He held her hand and wished her well
Although his heart was aching
The cameras rolled, the print was bold
The holy war was breaking

[Verse 1]
It's hey ho, away we go
We're on the road to never
Where life's a joy for girls and boys
And only will get better

[Refrain]
Hey ho, away we go
Along the road to never
Hey ho, away we go
We're on the road to never
Hey ho, away we go
Along the road to never
Hey ho, away we go
We're on the road to never
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
The priest was there with sandy hair
Religion by his side
He saw his law was broken
The punishment was applied
