Devil On My Shoulder Songtext
von Billy Talent

As I get closer, my dreams get farther
I climb that 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 got the devil on my shoulder
(Over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower
(Lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer
(Closer and closer)
I 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 got the devil on my shoulder
(Over and over)
And I just can′t sink any lower
(Lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer
(Closer and closer)
I 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′d beg for mercy from my infernal friend
The one that drives the nails 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 sink any lower
(Lower and lower)
They come to take me, take me over
(Closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder
(Over and over)
