Don抰 Walk with The Devil

By 7M3

Frequently down at the open-air bar,

The regulars run a dirty jukebox

And scowl at the weekenders swilled in their mock veneer.

And I take my tricks, like a miner for coal.

I shake their hands until the slippery voice.

Waitress lends me a smile and some good advice.

She says:

揇on抰 walk with the devil (don抰 walk with the devil),

If you can抰 run with him too.

Don抰 walk with the devil,

If you can抰 run with him.

Well, the opulence fades with the bottles and cans,

And I eavesdrop in on the localsdemands,

Slither down their olives, one by one.

Little they heed the saying that goes,

揑f you talk to loud, then you really don抰 know.The best words of advice I can

never give them:

揇on抰 walk with the devil (don抰 walk with the devil),

If you can抰 run with him too.

Don抰 walk with the devil,

If you can抰 run with him.

The street is tired and the fever is high.

Strangers creeps till the sweet delight

Of an unknown comfort in taking what抯 forbidden.

Yeah, it was such a night when a man rolled in

With a gold toothed brow and a silvery grin.

I knew for sure salvation was his profession.

And he sat next to me and I can already tell,

He had a question to ask, he had come to collect on a promissory paid.

And I knew that I抎 deliver.

And I said:

揇on抰 walk with the devil (don抰 walk with the devil),

If you can抰 run with him too.

Don抰 walk with the devil,

If you can抰 run with him.

揇on抰 walk with the devil (don抰 walk with the devil),

If you can抰 run with him too.

Don抰 walk with the devil,

If you can抰 run with him.

And I swallowed my drink,

Rolled the rust in my mouth

And motioned to him he should follow out to the alley in back.

I said, 揝tep into my office.And he finally looked at me straight in the eye.

I could see his jaw drop and shutter inside

Surprised in the wake of his newest epiphany.

He said 揝ir you are not who I thought you were.

I never believed, but now I抦 too sure.

I sold you my soul, leave me some words of mercy.And I whispered:

揇on抰 walk with the devil (don抰 walk with the devil),

If you can抰 run with him too.

Don抰 walk with the devil,

If you can抰 run with him.

Don抰 walk with the devil (don抰 walk with the devil),

If you can抰 run with him too.

Don抰 walk with the devil,

If you can抰 run with him.
