The Devil in Me

I've met the devil, seen him around Because we share this same town We both frequent this barber shop But his cut is better than the one I got We drive the same automobile Even my bad ideas he tries to steal Fridays he plays at a local bar Stairway to heaven on guitar I couldn't hide from the truth Of that insight I'd come to believe There lives a devil in me I've met the devil in me I've met the devil in me That's all I see A devil in me! I've met the devil in me I've met the devil in me Always waiting for me A devil in me! I've met the devil Toe to toe He waits for me deep inside my shadow My great escape back to the mirror But who is the one that will appear? When I approach him he turns away When I am talking he's always Got something, got something so profound to say But I can't confront my enemy I couldn't hide from the truth Of that insight I'd come to believe There lives a devil in me I've met the devil in me I've met the devil in me That's all I see A devil in me! I've met the devil in me I've met the devil in me Always waiting for me A devil in me! He's cold like me Feels alone In a crowd like me I'm starting to see He gets what he wants But not what he needs He gets what he wants But not what he needs He gets what he wants But not what he needs He gets what he wants But not what he needs He gets what he wants But not what he needs He gets what he wants But not what he needs He gets what he wants But not what he needs I shouldn't die Oh Lord I shouldn't cry 'The devil has somehow Come to frame me' The devil is actually me
