Devil Slide Songtext
von Eric Burdon

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
Class 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 baseball
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 it all over
But nobody knows what they′re saying
So let me ride, baby
I'll see you some old sunny day
