Standing there by a broken tree Her hands were all twisted, she was pointing at me I was damned by the light, coming out of her eyes she spoke with a voice that disrupted the sky she said 'walk on over here to the bitter shade' I will wrap you in mny arms and you will know that you are all saved let me sign let me sign I was out for a drink in a SoHo bar the air was smoked out like a cheap cigar she rose out of her seat like a painted ghost she was the woman that i wanted the most as she reached for my arm, i gave her my hand I said 'lay me down easy, let me understand' let me sign let me sign can't fight the devil so just let me sign as i walked in the door she was still in my head as i entered the room she was laid there in bed she reached for me all twisted in black I was on my way down and never coming back let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign
