I said hey little girl don’t you know he’s a devil
He’s everything that I ain’t
Hidin’ intentions of evil under the smile of a saint
All he’s good for is gettin’ in trouble
And shifting his share of the blame
And some people swear he’s my double and some even say we’re the same
But the silver tongued devil’s got nothing to lose
I’d only live till I die
We take our own chances and pay our own dues
The silver tongued devil and I
The devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin’ for a soul to steal
He was in a bind ‘cause he was way behind
He was willing to make a deal
When he came across this young man sawin’ on a fiddle and playin’ it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, “Boy, let me tell you what…”
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
She was a cool blue redhead
She was a virgin vixen
She had the eyes of Lassie
She had the lips of Nixon
Lips like Tricia Nixon
I stole a sideways glance at her continental shelf
And I know she was the devil himself
Now a woman like that, all she does is hate you
She doesn’t know what makes a man a man
She’ll talk about the time that she’s been with you
She’ll speak your name to everyone she can
She’s a devil in disguise - you can see it in her eyes
She’s tellin’ dirty lies - she’s a devil in disguise - in disguise
As I dive into the water, both time and motion freeze
I’m hanging there suspended like a feather in the breeze
Below is your reflection, like an image from the past
But I can’t be sure if it’s really you 'cause you’re wearing a tribal mask
Take it off, take off The Mask
Take it off, take off The Mask
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
It’s me they hear…
Your/My spirit and my/your voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there/here
Inside my/your mind
I’m running and hiding in my dreams you’re always there
You’re the Phantom of the Opera, you’re the devil, you’re just out to scare
You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air
Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair
And I’m walking through the garden
Your spectre follows me
I smell the sweet cologne
Suddenly the odor is gone
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you’re not here, I’m suffocating
I wanna feel love run through my blood
Tell me, is this where I give it all up?
(The jump was, this is the theme from Spectre).
Your breath is a fiery wind, dear,
That whispers the sound of my name.
And the fever’s so high you can barely stand,
And the only relief is the touch of my hand,
And the heat of the blood is rising.
You give me fever
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever! in the morning
Fever all through the night
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I’ve got that feeling once again
I can’t explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
Why am I loved only when I’m gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that’s got his own
That’s got his own
Papa was a rolling stone, (my son)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
Hey Papa was a rolling stone, (dad gumma it)
Where ever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died, all he left us was alone
I’d like to get you alone
I’d like to get you alone
I’d like to get you a loan
At a very low interest rate
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that’s tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
It’s worth the wait, surreal estate
Surreal estate, no time, no date
Accept no fake surreal estate
Design by fate, surreal estate.
People tell me it’s a crime to feel to much at any one time
All it cost me was a dime but the bells refuse to ring
He was born in the spring but I was born to late to blame
It on a simple twist of fate.
