The Devil To Pay

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Go on girl take your chancesSee how long you can go on from man to manI can read the lines between your stolen glancesAnd I know it's time to fold this loosing handCause you're drawn to the flame by the thrill and the shameOf the cheatin' game they taught you how to playYou've got nothing to lose but your soul girlAnd you've only the devil to payYou've been flying so high you don't knowThat you're blind to the writin' on the wallBut some day you'll look downAnd you'll find you've got no place to fallWhen the bright lights're gone you'll be standing aloneForsaken in the naked light of dayThen you'll know that it's all over but the dyingAnd you've still got the devil to payJoin your friends while you got 'emCause you know they're gettin' fewer every dayYou can't wait to let them take you to the bottomAnd I'm gettin' tired of standin' in your wayBut when you hit the ground don't come looking aroundFor the pieces of the love you threw awayThat's the price of the high life you're livin'And you still got the devil to payYou've been flying so high you don't knowThat you're blind to the writin' on the wallBut some day you'll look downAnd you'll find you've got no place to fallWhen the bright lights're gone you'll be standing aloneForsaken in the naked light of dayThen you'll know that it's all over but the dyingAnd you've still got the devil to pay
