Take My Soul
I went to a party and had a little too much too drink now
Well now I must have been high because some sharp dressed guy
Got me to try a little yellow pill
Well then he started to talk just like a preacher,
preaching freedom for my mind
And then before I could think I spilled my own brand of "ink"
Onto a paper with a dotted line
He told me that he came down from Venus, said he came to save my soul
I said you don't look like you came down from Venus
You look more like you came up from below
He said that there was no need to worry,
said it with compassion and charm
He said just come with me and be happy
Oh lord I never knew he meant me no harm
He came to take my soul,
Take my soul, take my soul
Oh don't take my soul
I woke up bleeding and with that dude sitting right my side
Well he was grinning at me with jagged yellow teeth
That's when I got up and I ran for my life
He said "Son don't you try to resist me,
because you know there ain't no way to escape"
That's when I noticed for sure
he had hoofed feet and two horns
and a green tail he hid with his cape
He told me that he came down from Venus, said he came to save my soul
I said you don't look like you came down from Venus
You look more like you came up from below
He said that there was no need to worry,
said it with compassion and charm
He said just come with me and be happy
Oh lord I never knew he meant me no harm
He came to take my soul,
Take my soul, take my soul
Oh don't take my soul
He came to take my soul,
Take my soul, take my soul
Oh don't take my soul
He took the soul right out of my heart,
He left me torn and broken apart
He took the soul right out of my heart,
He left me torn and broken apart
Well now I must have been high because some sharp dressed guy
Got me to try a little yellow pill
Well then he started to talk just like a preacher,
preaching freedom for my mind
And then before I could think I spilled my own brand of "ink"
Onto a paper with a dotted line
He told me that he came down from Venus, said he came to save my soul
I said you don't look like you came down from Venus
You look more like you came up from below
He said that there was no need to worry,
said it with compassion and charm
He said just come with me and be happy
Oh lord I never knew he meant me no harm
He came to take my soul,
Take my soul, take my soul
Oh don't take my soul
I woke up bleeding and with that dude sitting right my side
Well he was grinning at me with jagged yellow teeth
That's when I got up and I ran for my life
He said "Son don't you try to resist me,
because you know there ain't no way to escape"
That's when I noticed for sure
he had hoofed feet and two horns
and a green tail he hid with his cape
He told me that he came down from Venus, said he came to save my soul
I said you don't look like you came down from Venus
You look more like you came up from below
He said that there was no need to worry,
said it with compassion and charm
He said just come with me and be happy
Oh lord I never knew he meant me no harm
He came to take my soul,
Take my soul, take my soul
Oh don't take my soul
He came to take my soul,
Take my soul, take my soul
Oh don't take my soul
He took the soul right out of my heart,
He left me torn and broken apart
He took the soul right out of my heart,
He left me torn and broken apart
