And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer) I 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 The lock was broken All my accomplishments Are best left outspoken
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 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 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'd beg for mercy From my infernal friend. The one that drops the nails, into my coffin
I got the devil on my shoulder... I got the devil on my shoulder... I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) They come to take me, take me over. (over and over) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
