I saw my desire as a lake of fire, and I was thinking 'bout taking a swim,
She looked all right, wearing something tight,
She said, "Lover, won't you jump on in?"
Then I singed my feet, I felt the heat,
That's when I knew she was not my friend,
So, I declined in the nick of time, and I told her right there and then...
I said, hey, you little devil, hey,
Go on get out of my way,
Hey, you little devil hey,
Well, there's gonna be hell to pay.
He looked real astute in his three-piece suit,
He said, "Kid sign on the bottom of this page,"
Then he smiled and I saw the fangs and the claws,
In his eyes was a hunger and rage,
Then it was clear to me, I had a key to loose a tiger from it's cage,
I said, "Sir, I know your name, and the souls that you claimed, so pardon me if I disengage."
I said, hey, you little devil, hey,
Go on get out of my way,
Hey, you little devil hey,
There's gonna be hell to pay.
Shucking and jiving,
Drinking and driving, but I know I'm gonna hit the wall,
Joking and smoking 'til I'm battered and broken,
You can't get up until you fall,
And the Joker he just laughs at it all.
I said, hey, you little devil, hey,
Go on get out of my way,
Hey, you little devil hey,
Well, there's gonna be hell to pay,
I said, hey, you little devil, hey,
Go on get out of my way,
Hey, you little devil hey,
Well, there's gonna be hell to pay,
There's gonna be hell to pay,
There's gonna be hell to pay.
And I know these tricks, and how the game is fixed,
How you gain the world and lose your soul,
I know what grace is, and how sin has it's wages,
And how pride will take it's toll,
I know about the cross and the saviour of the lost
And where the saints and the sinners go,
And how the still small voice says, "Boy, you've got a choice, the courts of Heaven or the fires below."
Oh, hey, you little devil, hey,
Oh, hey, you little devil, hey,
