| The devil said, "Sit and have yourself a glass"
|
| He said "I know you're angry right now, but the feelin' will pass
|
| So keep your cup tipped up when you're feelin' down low
|
| And when you finally forget your purpose, you'll be stumblin' on down my side of the road"
|
| Oh you know it ain't good for you
|
| To keep going on like you do
|
| Time's running away and it's running fast
|
| Whoa, said I know
|
| I used to walk down the very same road
|
| And if I could I'd give you some advice
|
| See, he don't care about you
|
| All the good, all the bad you do, no
|
| He wants your life, and that's the devil's price
|
| Yeah, the devil's price
|
| The same devil says "Sit and have yourself a line"
|
| He says, "We can make it last all day, yeah we can make it last all night
|
| When you try to go to sleep I'll be in your ear
|
| Yeah I'll be laughin' at you, the whole night through, with your paranoid eyes all full of fear"
|
| Oh you know it ain't good for you
|
| To keep goin' on like you do
|
| Time's runnin' away and it's runnin' fast
|
| Oh, said I know
|
| I used to walk down the very same road
|
| And if I could I'd give you some advice
|
| See, he don't care about you
|
| All the good, all the bad you do, no
|
| He wants your life, and that's the devil's price
|
| Yeah, the devil's price
|
| The devil just left, he said he had to go
|
| It's funny how it works that way when you just start tellin' him no
|
| So just keep on keepin' him down that way
|
| I said you're almost done, you got the devil on the run, and you ain't got no price to pay
|
| I said I know
|
| I used to walk down the very same road
|
| And I thank you kindly for takin' my advice
|
| See, he don't care about you
|
| All the good, all the bad you do, no
|
| He can't take your life, you ain't payin' the price
|
| Yeah, the devil's price |
