Devil

Dead on your bed lay a ring of roses
Singin' you a serpent's song
And finding no harm to embrace the splendor
My, how you were wrong

That devil, you know
How he craved new hunger
Left not a penny to be found
But with a little help from your loaded nine
He finally ate the ground

Glowing tears, don't turn me on
Don't let your headlights linger
As you steer into a wall

Swearin' it off as a divine gesture
Hitting the brakes as you turn
And staying awake just to finally measure
How to live or burn

So pour another Jack
I hope it wards off danger
Hell, take another one to go
Hard to recall all those cold December nights
You slept in snow

Growing fears, don't turn me off
Don't let your engine falter
As you veer into the falls

Walkin' up to the pearly gates
And explaining how you wanted to be saved
But the angels turned their heads
As they dragged you to your grave
