Devils Price

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 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 you 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

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
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
Yeah, the devil’s price
