The Devil Showed Up With A Better Deal
Red Beard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My tongue turned to stone and I can't barely speak
I'm running out of air to breathe, you got me on my knees
I feel the flames burning the sole of my feet
The heat has melt my boots, and a smelly steam came to me
The devil showed up with a better deal, so I'll go down with him
I've been able to get a chance to ditch the blues
He'll give me a better deal to pay all my dues
I get the pain you get the pleasure, that's not how it should be
passion and sorrow can't be lovers, don't you see?
The devil showed up with a better deal, so I'll go down with him
I've been able to get a chance to ditch the blues
He'll give me a better deal to pay all my dues
And now here I am, dancing with the devil howling at the moon
