"I sold my soul to the Devil, for the chance to be eternally good.
But then I quickly ran, with my guitar in my hand, because I didn't know if I should.

I sold my soul to the Devil for control of my destiny.  
But then I dropped a load, at the midnight crossroads, because it was too dark to see.

And he ran ran ran just as fast as he can.
And I run run run like I've been chasing the sun,
and he fly-fly-flies that feather flight and he almost looked beautiful in the milky moonlight.

So I called for mercy, and I called for G-d.  
And I called for vengeance and I called for him to stop.
I called for his blood, but he told me he had none.  
Just fire in his veins and smoke in his lungs.

He blew me a kiss and smoke rings lassoed me. 
Inhaled me into him and he began to chew me. 
Up and down and all around, 
and he (snorts) through his nose and coughed me out.

Well I lay there half dying, all covered in spit, 
howling up at the moon and feeling like shit.
I howled at the moon, and I craved a jay. 
The wind howled back but it had nothing to say to me,
as I lay there.
To me, as I stared.
To me, as I formed a gang of demons in my head.  
To us as we sang..

'You may be the devil, but me I am a man.
While you've got to be bad, I do whatever I can.
So while you've got to bad I'm going to spend the day being glad.'"
