Devil & the Hourglass
The devil walked in this morning
With a contract in her hand
She wore a dress that flowed like water
And held an hourglass filled with sand
She said to me one of these
Days you gonna be an old lonely man
But if you give yourself to me
I'd like to give you a hand.
Her hair was black as midnight
And her eyes were steely cold
Her touch set me on fire
But now she won't let me go
Today marks the day that I finally learn
I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned.
As she unrolled her wicked scroll
A chill swept down my spine
But "don't you fret" is what she said
And then she flipped that glass and smiled
I'll give you till that sand has settled still
For you to make your mind
Now just give yourself to me
And everything is gonna be fine
Her hair was black as midnight
And her eyes were steely cold
Her touch set me on fire
But now she won't let me go
Today marks the day that I finally learn
I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned.
As we got dressed back in sunday best
The last grain hit the pile
I'm sorry babe though it's been great
I ain't gonna sign.
She stabbed into my heart her devil eyes
And whispered "baby that's fine"
But you just gave yourself to me
Hahaha. Well your already mine.
Her hair was black as midnight
And her eyes were steely cold
Her touch set me on fire
But now she won't let me go
Today marks the day that I finally learn
I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned.
With a contract in her hand
She wore a dress that flowed like water
And held an hourglass filled with sand
She said to me one of these
Days you gonna be an old lonely man
But if you give yourself to me
I'd like to give you a hand.
Her hair was black as midnight
And her eyes were steely cold
Her touch set me on fire
But now she won't let me go
Today marks the day that I finally learn
I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned.
As she unrolled her wicked scroll
A chill swept down my spine
But "don't you fret" is what she said
And then she flipped that glass and smiled
I'll give you till that sand has settled still
For you to make your mind
Now just give yourself to me
And everything is gonna be fine
Her hair was black as midnight
And her eyes were steely cold
Her touch set me on fire
But now she won't let me go
Today marks the day that I finally learn
I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned.
As we got dressed back in sunday best
The last grain hit the pile
I'm sorry babe though it's been great
I ain't gonna sign.
She stabbed into my heart her devil eyes
And whispered "baby that's fine"
But you just gave yourself to me
Hahaha. Well your already mine.
Her hair was black as midnight
And her eyes were steely cold
Her touch set me on fire
But now she won't let me go
Today marks the day that I finally learn
I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned.
