This is the 2nd entry of the song writing challenge group that I'm in! So the theme this time around was "little slice of hell". I thought, "Wow! This will be easy. I'll just write a scornful love song." But then I thought it would be funny if I took the theme a little differently and wrote about acquiring real estate in hell. Eventually I settled in the middle somewhere and wrote about accidentally setting your Tinder location in hell, falling in love with a devil girl, and moving in.


LYRICS:
My heart's on fire but willing to pump through all this pain
I’m here in this ashy field where cinder falls like rain
Cause there’s a desire and all my friends think I’m insane, yeah

And I met her on some dating site last week
Forgot to change location from hell to Philly
It’s a blind date; eyes are melting I can’t see
Yeah my deviled angel is hotter in person... I mean that literally

Well I told you! And you’ve mentioned
The hardest part of this will be managing third degree burns
Yeah this little slice of hell can be my home!

Well I guess my health insurance might go up
The out of pocket and deductibles both suck
Ask your dad if he can find me a new job. Yeah. I’m good with that pitchfork in my hands. I swear it...

And I met her on some dating sight last week.
Yeah she likes to dance the Salsa when she’s free.
I wonder if our kids will look like me
But with a pointed tail; I guess we’ll see!

Well I told you! And you’ve mentioned
The hardest part of this will be managing third degree burns
Yeah this little slice of hell can be my home!

Well I told you! And you’ve mentioned
The hardest part of this will be managing third degree burns
Yeah this little slice of hell can be my home!

Oh woah. You and I can just chill for eternity.
Near our lake of fire... well it won’t be chilly.
And papa Lucifer will have a word with me.
When I ask him if he’d let us be married...
