Never Met a Demon (That I Didn't Like)
Well I been chasin' that dragon so long,
My feet are tired
Been touched by the breath
But only once by the fire
It's a balancing act
I'm like a vulture on a wire
Surrounded by Demons, the Devil and Hellfire
I remember the first time,
Oh the feeling was immense
Til' the devil came and marked me
With his bloody fingerprints
Always been real good at usin' common sense
Til the monkey on my back jumped off and run me up a fence
Well Ima walkin' myself through life
When it begins
Struck by all the creatures invitin' me in
Never with an angel would I choose to dwell
Rather be with the demons, that know me so well
They know me so well
A pint of ol' Jim, a joint, or a Lucky Strike
Maybe I belong in hell, maybe he belongs in hell
I'd like to lie and tell you I put up a fight
But I never met a demon, no I never met a demon
That I didn't like
Some folks need Jesus and therapy
For making them feel swell
As for me I'm mighty fine
Just a-raisin' me some hell
Grab your cup of poison and sit with me a spell
Tip it back, til it goes pitch black
Bid reality fare-well
Tell me what to do
And I don't like that very well
But like that old mans dogs
I come-a runnin' for the dinner bell
The road was gettin' rough
Lord, I was walkin' then I fell
That's when the devil said to me
You've got a soul to sell
Well Ima walkin' myself through life
When it begins
I'm struck by all the creatures invitin' me in
Never with an angel would I choose to dwell
I'd rather be with the demons, that know me so well
That know me so well
A pint of ol' Jim, a joint, or a Lucky Strike
Maybe I belong in hell, maybe he belongs in hell
I'd like to lie and tell you I put up a fight
But I've never met a demon, no I never met a demon
That I didn't like
My feet are tired
Been touched by the breath
But only once by the fire
It's a balancing act
I'm like a vulture on a wire
Surrounded by Demons, the Devil and Hellfire
I remember the first time,
Oh the feeling was immense
Til' the devil came and marked me
With his bloody fingerprints
Always been real good at usin' common sense
Til the monkey on my back jumped off and run me up a fence
Well Ima walkin' myself through life
When it begins
Struck by all the creatures invitin' me in
Never with an angel would I choose to dwell
Rather be with the demons, that know me so well
They know me so well
A pint of ol' Jim, a joint, or a Lucky Strike
Maybe I belong in hell, maybe he belongs in hell
I'd like to lie and tell you I put up a fight
But I never met a demon, no I never met a demon
That I didn't like

Maybe I belong in hell, maybe he belongs in hell
I'd like to lie and tell you I put up a fight
But I've never met a demon, no I never met a demon
That I didn't like
