DonжЉ° 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:
жЏ‡onжЉ° walk with the devil (donжЉ° walk with the devil),
If you canжЉ° run with him too.
DonжЉ° walk with the devil,
If you canжЉ° 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,
жЏ‘f you talk to loud, then you really donжЉ° know.The best words of advice I can
never give them:
жЏ‡onжЉ° walk with the devil (donжЉ° walk with the devil),
If you canжЉ° run with him too.
DonжЉ° walk with the devil,
If you canжЉ° run with him.
The street is tired and the fever is high.
Strangers creeps till the sweet delight
Of an unknown comfort in taking whatжЉЇ 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 IжЉЋ deliver.
And I said:
жЏ‡onжЉ° walk with the devil (donжЉ° walk with the devil),
If you canжЉ° run with him too.
DonжЉ° walk with the devil,
If you canжЉ° run with him.
жЏ‡onжЉ° walk with the devil (donжЉ° walk with the devil),
If you canжЉ° run with him too.
DonжЉ° walk with the devil,
If you canжЉ° 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, жЏќtep 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 жЏќir you are not who I thought you were.
I never believed, but now IжЉ¦ too sure.
I sold you my soul, leave me some words of mercy.And I whispered:
жЏ‡onжЉ° walk with the devil (donжЉ° walk with the devil),
If you canжЉ° run with him too.
DonжЉ° walk with the devil,
If you canжЉ° run with him.
DonжЉ° walk with the devil (donжЉ° walk with the devil),
If you canжЉ° run with him too.
DonжЉ° walk with the devil,
If you canжЉ° run with him.
