Your’s still fits, **Kobal2** - so I’ll go off of yours.

My little demon, comin’ on down  
My little demon’s turnin’ me around  
All of my friends all tellin’ me  
That I just ain’t the man I used to be

When the devil is too busy  
And death a bit too much  
They call on me, by name you see  
For my special touch  
To the gentleman I’m misfortune  
To the ladies I’m surprise  
But call me by any name  
Anyway It’s all the same

He’s devoted to the devil, fascinated by crime  
Glamorous death is his destination - eternal passion his gain.

Sell him your soul - sell him your soul - sell him your soul

And as the flames climbed high into the night  
To light the sacrificial rite,  
I saw satan laughing with delight  
The day the music died

Torches blazed and  
Sacred chants were phrased  
As they start to cry  
Hands held to the sky  
In the night  
The fires are burning bright  
The ritual has begun  
Satan’s work is done !

It’s that ole Devil called love again,  
Gets behind me and keeps giving me the shove again,  
Putting rain in my eyes, tears in my dreams,  
And rocks in my heart.

I am a rock. I am an island.  
I’ve built walls,  
A fortress, deep and mighty,  
that none may penetrate.  
I have no need of friendship,  
Friendship causes pain,  
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain,  
I am a rock. I am an island.

Islands in the stream  
That is what we are  
No one in-between  
How can we be wrong

Seven islands to the high side  
Of the bay  
If you’re looking west  
To the sunset  
You can see it, all in fiery  
Autumn dress

There is moonlight and moss in the trees  
Down the Seven Bridges Road

And I still hear the soft southern wind in the live oak trees  
Those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me  
Hank and Tennessee  
I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be  
So what do you do with good ole boys like me?

What’ll we do with a drunken sailor,

Earl-aye in the morning?

She paints her eyes as black as night now,  
Pulls those shades down tight  
Yes, she gives a smile when the pain comes,  
The pain gonna make everything alright

Says, she talks to angels,  
They call her out by her name  
Oh yeah, she talks to angels,  
Says they call her out by her name

If I could rate ‘em on a scale from 1 to 10  
I’m lookin’ for a 9 but 8 would slip right in  
A few more drinks and I might slip to a 5 or even a 4  
But when tomorrow morning comes,  
And I wake up with a number 1  
I swear I’ll never do it anymore.

Don’t the girls all get prettier at closing time  
They all begin to look like movie stars

Are the most beautiful girl in the…room  
In the whole wide room
