The devil is a woman with a red dress on A gleam that flits across a rolling eye The devil is a hand that moves along a satin sheet A softly, sweetly whispered lie The devil is a window filled with fancy clothes Through lips that (?) And open doors (?) A word that touched the heart and made it cry
Where are you gonna run? Where do you think you're gonna hide? What makes you think you're slick enough To take old satan for a ride And you never took a notice That no matter what you do Our old friend Mephistopheles gets there just ahead of you
The Devil never rest, come day, come dust, come dawn You compromise and wind up sold in parts So don't it strike you funny when you look him in the eye The Devil looks a lot like you and I
