Devil's Dozen
Confessions of the Devil's Dozen: A Journey Through Sin and Redemption
Lyrics
I've dealt with the devil, I went down to hell, left with nothing, had nothing to lose.
I engaged in dealings with the devil, descended to hell, and returned with nothing, having nothing to lose.
I've played with some brods, had nothing to give, got only some cigs and some booze.
I interacted with some women, had nothing to offer, received only cigarettes and alcohol in return.
I've travelled the highways, I've walked down the line and here is the one thing I've learned.
I traversed highways, walked a challenging path, and learned a valuable lesson.
When you climb up a mountain, fly close to the sun, before long you're gonna get burned.
Climbing a mountain or reaching for great heights can lead to consequences, symbolized by getting burned when flying too close to the sun.
Got into some trouble, been in a few fights, I ran with some bad company
I faced troubles, engaged in fights, and associated with a troublesome crowd.
with so many misfits on so many nights, it's all just a bad memory
Misfit companions on numerous nights form unpleasant memories.
But when I woke up, still had beer in my cup, and a hell of a nasty hangover
Despite the challenges, waking up with beer and a severe hangover, facing the harsh reality.
Reality bites as she enters the room, God help me I wish I were sober
The entrance of reality, juxtaposed with the desire to be sober.
