lyrics

You made a deal with the devil

How'd you get
So good so fast
Came in first
Though picked dead last
You disappeared
Without a track
Twice as good
When you came back

Shake the hand
Sign the line
You're locked down

Take what you want
Take what's left of me
All that glitters is gold
(you made a deal with the devil)
You can fill the void
Spaces in between
And now your spirit is sold
(you gotta deal with the devil)

Standing there
All dressed in black
You shook his hand
No turning back
Read the signs
Heed my advice
Make that deal

Shake the hand
Sign the line
You're locked down

Take what you want
Take what's left of me
All that glitters is gold
(you made a deal with the devil)
You can fill the void
Spaces in between
And now your spirit is sold
(you gotta deal with the devil)

Dream of riches
Dream of all that gold
Pray for something good to unfold
All your whiskey and your women
Now you're dead at 27
'Cause in return the devil takes your soul

Take what you want
Take what's left of me
All that glitters is gold
(you made a deal with the devil)
You can fill the void
Spaces in between
And now your spirit is sold
(you gotta deal with the devil)

You made a deal with the devil
