Sixteen Ton Soul
I'll trade my soul for some sixteen tons of gold
I'll make it seem like it's the best thing I've sold
I'll break it off with rusty saws from my bones
I'll box it up just for you
Can't say I'll miss it for a moment or two
Gets in the way when there's things I need to do
Can't be a monster with a soul, that is true
So I'll be a devil with you
Nothing stays, nothing goes
All the ghosts that you've known
I'll follow you like a dog
But I've got some shit of my own
Might be a body past that door over there
They get so tough to hide the less that I care
I've gotten used to all the stench in the air
As long as I'm here with you
You make the devil seem a mighty good friend
You make a life of servitude a good end
To hell and back well I am happy to send
My soul and body for you
Nothing stays, nothing goes
All the ghosts that I've known
Follow me like dog
That smells out one of it's own
The moral to this song if one you should need
Feel free to conduct any horrible deed
Make sure you're worthy of the rivers you bleed
Like I've been worthy for you
Like I've been worthy for you
Like I've been worthy for you
I'll make it seem like it's the best thing I've sold
I'll break it off with rusty saws from my bones
I'll box it up just for you
Can't say I'll miss it for a moment or two
Gets in the way when there's things I need to do
Can't be a monster with a soul, that is true
So I'll be a devil with you
Nothing stays, nothing goes
All the ghosts that you've known
I'll follow you like a dog
But I've got some shit of my own
Might be a body past that door over there
They get so tough to hide the less that I care
I've gotten used to all the stench in the air
As long as I'm here with you
You make the devil seem a mighty good friend
You make a life of servitude a good end
To hell and back well I am happy to send
My soul and body for you
Nothing stays, nothing goes
All the ghosts that I've known
Follow me like dog
That smells out one of it's own
The moral to this song if one you should need
Feel free to conduct any horrible deed
Make sure you're worthy of the rivers you bleed
Like I've been worthy for you
Like I've been worthy for you
Like I've been worthy for you
