Devil's Slide Songtext
von Eric Burdon & The Animals

Y′all recall Big Red?
Spent most of his life out on the road
Searching for that enigmatic devil slide
But he could never forget what Muddy said
Glass is the best

We was on that midnight train
Traveling to San Sebastian, Spain
When he took a dead bottle of Beaujolais
Slipped his ring finger into its neck
And broke off the remains

Then he looked at me with a gleam in his eye
Said, "Eric, look out, here comes the devil slide"

The devil's on the loose
Waving his brand new pitch fork
He′s still looking good
He's been polishing his horns
In order to bleed souls
Even those who've never been born


The devil′s on the loose
Riding in a brand new car
With a suit and a tie
And a Japanese cellular
He goes to church and prays
But he knows that faith don′t come in a jar

The devil's on the loose
Stirring his cauldron of bliss
And we taste the flavor
Not knowing we′re already a part of this

At the doors of every house
The dogs begin to bark
The devil's on the loose
And his eyes can see in the dark
He′s gonna give you double of everything
You never asked for

The devil's on the loose
Excited to have a new start
He preserves his tail
But he loans out his two big hearts
One to keep you busy
And the other to tear you apart


Yeah, the devil′s on the loose
Stirring his cauldron of bliss
We taste the flavor
Not knowing we're already a part of this
Come on, y'all

The devil′s on the loose
Stirring his cauldron of bliss
And we taste the flavor
Not knowing we′re already a part of this

The devil's on the loose
And we′re stuck in the middle of his game
We're talking all over
But nobody knows what they′re saying
So let's make love, baby
I′ll see you some old sunny day
