Devil Hands
Soul's Bargain: Rocking the Devil's Music at 27
Lyrics
I went down to the cross roads
I went to a crucial point in my life
And I sold the devil my soul
I made a pact with the devil, exchanging my soul
He said that he don't want it
The devil expressed disinterest in my soul
I said I wanna play that rock n roll
I desire to play rock and roll music
And I begged and pleaded with him
I earnestly pleaded with the devil
And his answer I was dreading
I feared the devil's response
He said there's one condition to our agreement
The devil set a condition for our agreement
You've gotta go at 27
I must die at the age of 27
But you've gotta use it before you lose it
Use your talent before losing it
If you're playing the devils music
A warning for those playing devil's music
So don't abuse or confuse it
Advice not to misuse or misunderstand it
If you're playing the devils music
Reiteration of caution for devil's music players
I went out to the crowd and I asked them did they miss me
I asked the audience if they missed me
I started the day out on wine but I'll be finishing it on whiskey
Started the day with wine, ending with whiskey
And the hell hounds well they're breathing down my neck
Danger and challenges are approaching
They've got a hell of a lot closer since the last time that I checked
The threat has become more imminent
But you've gotta use it before you lose it
Reiteration of using talent before losing it
If you're playing the devils music
Reminder for those playing devil's music
So don't abuse or confuse it
Caution not to misuse or misunderstand it
If you're playing the devils music
Repeat advice for devil's music players
You've gotta use it before you lose it
Reiteration of using talent before losing it
If you're playing the devils music
Reminder for those playing devil's music
So don't abuse or confuse it
Caution not to misuse or misunderstand it
Women and fame were never in my plans
Desire for women and fame was not part of the plan
Now everywhere I go they call me Devil Hands
Now identified as "Devil Hands" due to choices
I can't out run my past even if I try
Unable to escape my troubled history
But I'm 27 tomorrow and I ain't ready to die
Turning 27, not ready to face death
But you've gotta use it before you lose it
Reiteration of using talent before losing it
If you're playing the devils music
Reminder for those playing devil's music
So don't abuse or confuse it
Caution not to misuse or misunderstand it
If you're playing the devils music
Repeat advice for devil's music players
You've gotta use it before you lose it
Reiteration of using talent before losing it
If you're playing the devils music
Reminder for those playing devil's music
So don't abuse or confuse it if you're playing the devils music
Caution not to misuse or misunderstand it
