As I get closer My dreams get farther I climb that ladder But you kick it over As we throw 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 And he can sell my soul It ain't for you to take
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can't keep getting lower (lower and lower) And to hell I'm getting closer (closer and closer) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
Follow that rainbow My luck is open There ain't no pot of gold Just got more tokens I found the key to life The lock was broken All my accomplishments Have been outspoken
My horrible story, Is nearly over. I said I'm sorry, But I was sober. I'll take some medicine, I'm already full of it. Come on and pop some in, 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 keep getting 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)
