As I get closer
my dreams get farther
I climb the ladder
but you kick it over
Thirsty for 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
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't
worth shit to take
I've got the devil
on my shoulder
And I just
can't sink any lower
The hounds of hell
are getting closer
I've 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 unspoken
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've got the devil
on my shoulder
And I just can't
sink any lower
The hounds of hell
are getting closer
I've 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 beg for mercy
from my infernal friend
The one that
drives the nails
into my coffin
I've got the devil
on my shoulder
I've got the devil
on my shoulder
I've got the devil
on my shoulder
And I just can't
sink any lower
They've come to take me
take me over
I've got the devil
on my shoulder
over and over
