Devil on My Shoulder

As I get closer, my dreams get farther I climb the ladder, but you kick it over Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker I dug a hole so deep I'm gonna drown in my mistakes Can't even sell my soul 'Cause it ain't worth shit to take I've got the devil on my shoulder, over and over And I just can't sink any lower, lower and lower The hounds of hell are getting closer, closer and closer I've got the devil on my shoulder, over and over Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen There ain't no pot of gold, just copper tokens I found the key to life, but the lock was broken All my accomplishments are best left unspoken I dug a hole so deep I'm gonna drown in my mistakes Can't even sell my soul 'Cause it ain't worth shit to take I've got the devil on my shoulder, over and over And I just can't sink any lower, lower and lower The hounds of hell are getting closer, closer and closer I've got the devil on my shoulder, over and over My horror story is nearly over I said I'm sorry, but I was sober I beg for mercy from my infernal friend The one that drives the nails into my coffin I've got the devil on my shoulder I've got the devil on my shoulder I've got the devil on my shoulder, over and over And I just can't sink any lower, lower and lower They've come to take me, take me over, over and over I've got the devil on my shoulder, over and over
