The seas turning black The sky turning red And someone talking in my bed I know I've got to chase the devil tonight For the time is here But the way, way is long And you may smile at the serpent's ...

You have forsaken all the love you've taken Sleepin' on a razor there's nowhere left to fall Your body's aching, every bone is breakin' Nothin' seems to shake it, it just keeps holdin' on Your sou...

Flyin' down a flat track, bottle in a brown sack Pistons pumpin' in a poor boy's Cadillac Cross the Mississippi, crazy on the pale moonlight I'm goin' to beat the devil To see my angel tonight ...

d friend of mine in the hallway of a recording studio. And while he was reciting some poetry to me that he had written, I saw that he was about a step away from dying, and I couldn't help but wonder why. And the lines of this song occurred to me. I'm happy to say he's no longer wasted, and he's got him a good woman. And I'd like to dedicate this to John and June, who helped showed me how to beat the devil. ...o get myself out of the cold ...To warm the frozen feeling that...Keep the chilly wind off my ...Cigarette smoke to the ceiling ...And sawdust on the floor ... old man sitting at the bar ...And in the mirror I could see ...To the people who don't li...To the things that you are...The things that they co...e been scattered by the swirling winds of t...‘cuz the truth remains that ...Well the old man was a stran...On the wrong side of the door ...But my shadow on the floor ...You see, the devil haunts a hungry man...You gotta beat him ...I ain't saying I beat the devil ...To the people who don't li...To the things that I am sa...The things that they co...nd I'm bound to die the same ...But I've gotta feed the hunger in my soul
