lyrics

Sorry i’m late, didn’t mean to delay
But I sold my soul to the devil today
Stood by the highway and he offered me a lift
The road to hell was short for his car was swift

He played real heavy tunes, some old recorded tapes
He said he drops new beats every time he kills or rapes
I said I write new songs every time I love or leave
When passion is my vision and I can’t get any sleep

Behind those ironbars I get claustrofobic
They drug me with rules and this cage is atomic
I’m tired of slaving from nine to five and
this will pay our bills for as long as we’re alive

I spit out my soul on his face and he looked pleased
My body felt lighter and my mind felt at ease
I’ve given away all those stones I used to drag
And got real diamonds for it in a really precious bag

So love, no more stress, I did it my way
I sold my soul to the devil today
So love, no more stress, I did it my way
I sold my soul to the devil today

Now baby, don’t you argue, it’s not like it seems
Who cares of a soul if it pays for our dreams?
Do you remember that night long ago,
all those fees and payments made you shattered and low

I said; finish your humble pie, lets pack light and drift
But everything we packed was to heavy to lift
And you said you’ld do everything to have a new start,
Someone heard your praire and went to capture my heart

The devil gets a sticker for each sin he collects
I’m full of them thats why he treated me with respect
We had a few drinks and got obnoxiously drunk
He almost drove of the road with all my shit in his trunk

What would they have said on the morning news on tv?
that they found a man in black with no identity
And happily ever after, none of us fuckers would die and
God would think it’s cool til he’ld run out of supplies

So love, no more stress, I did it my way
I sold my soul to the devil today
Yeah, no worries, love, I did it my way
I sold my soul to the devil today
