Lyrics Devil on My Shoulder - Billy Talent

Devil on My Shoulder

As I get closer, my dreams get farther
I climb that ladder, but you kick it over
Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker
I dug a hole so deep
I’m gonna drown in my mistakes
Can’t even sell my soul
‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)
And I just can’t sink any lower (Lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (Closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)
Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen
There ain’t no pot of gold, just copper tokens
I found the key to life, the lock was broken
All my accomplishments are best left unspoken
I dug a hole so deep
I’m gonna drown in my mistakes
Can’t even sell my soul
‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)
And I just can’t sink any lower (Lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (Closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)
My horror story is nearly over
I said I’m sorry, but I was sober
I beg for mercy from my infernal friend
The one that drops the nails into my coffin
I got the devil on my shoulder.
I got the devil on my shoulder.
I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)
And I just can’t sink any lower (Lower and lower)
They got to take me take me over (Closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)
