As I get closer
my dreams get farther
I climb that ladder
but you kick it over
As we throw 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
And he can sell my soul
it ain't for you to take
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't keep getting lower (lower and lower)
And to hell I'm getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
Follow that rainbow
my luck is open
There ain't no pot of gold
Just got more tokens
I found the key to life
the lock was broken
All my accomplishments
have been outspoken
My horrible story,
is nearly over.
I said I'm sorry,
But I was sober.
I'll take some medicine,
I'm already full of it.
Come on and pop some in,
into my coffin.
I got the devil on my shoulder...
I got the devil on my shoulder...
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't keep getting lower (lower and lower)
They come to take me, take me over. (over and over)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
