DANCING WITH THE DEVIL

In a time when streets were gold, 
Thought I’d die before I’m old,
Felt my life seduced by rock n roll,
Told myself I’d be a star,
Traded family for guitar,
Isolated, never getting far.

Now it’s time to pay the piper,
Cause he’s always called the tune,
When I rise I only fall
Now I’ve no dice anymore.

Oh, devil took my hand,
He said come dance with me boy,
I’ll help you understand.
Oh, tried to make a stand,
But now my heart is breaking
Sinking with the damned.

I watched the world fall at my feet,
Fame and power fuelled my greed,
Had it all but still felt incomplete,
All my dreams were realised,
But nothing eased my ache inside,
I ate a feast but nothing satisfied.

Now it’s time to pay the piper,
Cause he’s always called the tune,
When I rise I only fall
Now I’ve no dice anymore.

Oh, devil took my hand,
He said come dance with me boy,
I’ll help you understand.
Oh, tried to make a stand,
But now my heart is breaking
Sinking with the damned.
