Devils Price - Poor Mans Poison

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
