lyrics

DEVIL ON MY SHOULDER

we got a whole lot of nothin'
but we're doin' fine
if we wait another year
we just might lose our minds
and send 'em down the river
where we sold our souls
to the captain and the king
of rock and roll

nights ain't the same
without that sweet, sweet sound
nights ain't the same
since we gave it all away

i can see right through the mirror, yeah
i know just what you need
i can see into the future, yeah

in the garden, there grows
some sort of whipporwill
if you don't know
then make it up and stay until
the first light creeps
between the window shades
and you hit the door
and blow all the dust away

the morning ain't the same
without that sweet sweet sound
the morning ain't the same
since they took it all away

i can see right through the mirror, yeah
i know just what you need
i can see into the future, yeah

and it looks like today
but in a different way

when the moon hangs on
over our battered heads
when the sun burns our eyes
and leaves us all for dead
just another day in the life
of you and me
and the devil on my shoulder
there for all to see

life just ain't the same
without that sweet sweet sound
life just ain't the same
since they scattered all away

i can see right through the mirror, yeah
i know just what you need
i can see into the future, yeah
