Dance with the Devil: Whiskey Thomas Unveils a Tempting Tale
Lyrics
She sends me chills in the mornin'
She evokes a feeling of excitement or fear in the morning
I can't tell if thats her callin'
Uncertain whether the sensation is due to her presence or action
Such a dream, in some belief
Describing her as an ideal or something fantastical in a belief system
I got the devil layin' next to me
Expressing a sense of being accompanied by something negative or sinister
Run, run, run away
Encouraging someone to flee or escape
Don't come back, you better stay
Advising against returning and suggesting to remain away
There, from which you came
Implying a direction or origin of the person being addressed
But you wanna eat my heart don't ya
Indicates a desire from the other person to harm emotionally or figuratively
She loves to do the runaround
She enjoys leading others on, causing confusion or uncertainty
She ain't only in downtown
Her presence is not limited to a specific area
She'll flip, turn ya upside down
She has the ability to completely change someone's perspective or situation
And time's
Implies the urgency of time passing
Run, run, runnin' out
Time is running out or is limited
She sends me chills in the mornin'
Similar to line 1, indicating the repetitive nature of the feeling
I can't tell if thats her callin'
Reiterating uncertainty about the source of the sensation
Such a dream, in some belief
Reiterating the idealized perception of the person
I got the devil layin' next to me
Reinforcing the feeling of being accompanied by something negative or sinister
You keep the
Advising to keep away from enjoyable or exciting activities
Fun, fun, fun away
Encouragement to refrain from having fun or excitement
Hold me down with what you say
Describing how words or actions keep the speaker in place
I'll always take the blame
Accepting blame or responsibility, even when it might not be warranted
When I just want whats best for ya
Desiring the best for the other person despite negative circumstances
Why you always stickin' around
Questioning why the other person stays despite the undesirable situation
This ain't what you think you found
Implies a misunderstanding or misjudgment of the situation
Go home
Urging the person to leave and make the speaker proud
Go on make me proud
Encouraging closure or keeping quiet about certain matters
And close
Similar to line 6 and 21, urging the person to stop running or fleeing
Your run, runnin' mouth
Similar to lines 13 and 14, indicating time running out due to talking too much
She sends me chills in the mornin'
Repetition of the sensation experienced in the morning
I can't tell if thats her callin'
Reiterating uncertainty about the source of the sensation
Such a dream, in some belief
Reiterating the idealized perception of the person
I got the devil layin' next to me
Reinforcing the feeling of being accompanied by something negative or sinister
She sends me chills in the mornin'
Repetition of the sensation experienced in the morning
Keepin' all my skin a'crawlin
Continued discomfort caused by the other person
Watchin' me sleep at my feet
Observing the other person's actions while the speaker is vulnerable
I got the devil layin' next to me
Reinforcing the feeling of being accompanied by something negative or sinister
