Well, the devil got my number
And the devil got my size
And the devil got my head
And the devil got my eyes
I'ma tryin' hard to get up
Lest he make it to my heart
'Cause I wanna make it back
From the dark, dark, dark
A ha-ha, yeah, and a ha-ha, yeah
With a ha-ha, yeah, and a ha, yeah
A ha-ha-ha, yeah, and a ha-ha, yeah
A ha-ha, yeah, and a, oh
It used to be
It was just my house
And it used to be
It was just my tongue
But the devils caught on
Like the teeth of a shark
And I wanna make it, make it back
From the dark, dark, dark
Oh, woe is me, indeed, and the woe is me, indeed
Oh, woe is me, indeed, and woe is me, indeed
Oh, woe is me, indeed, and the woe is me, indeed
Oh, woe is me, indeed, and whoa
See, the devil got my address
See, the devil got my car
And the devil ain't no novice
And the devil ain't no liar
I'ma tryin' hard to get up
But he made it to my heart
So I cannot make it back
From the dark, dark, dark
And the devil got my size
And the devil got my head
And the devil got my eyes
I'ma tryin' hard to get up
Lest he make it to my heart
'Cause I wanna make it back
From the dark, dark, dark
A ha-ha, yeah, and a ha-ha, yeah
With a ha-ha, yeah, and a ha, yeah
A ha-ha-ha, yeah, and a ha-ha, yeah
A ha-ha, yeah, and a, oh
It used to be
It was just my house
And it used to be
It was just my tongue
But the devils caught on
Like the teeth of a shark
And I wanna make it, make it back
From the dark, dark, dark
Oh, woe is me, indeed, and the woe is me, indeed
Oh, woe is me, indeed, and woe is me, indeed
Oh, woe is me, indeed, and the woe is me, indeed
Oh, woe is me, indeed, and whoa
See, the devil got my address
See, the devil got my car
And the devil ain't no novice
And the devil ain't no liar
I'ma tryin' hard to get up
But he made it to my heart
So I cannot make it back
From the dark, dark, dark

this song is about temptations as a freelancer musician to a professional panty dropper. as a freelancer, musicians have a passion for singing/playing instruments/performing for an audience. when transitioning to a professional rockstar, they fully give into their vices. this song is deeply philosophical/not about judeo-christian concept of 'devils.' it's literally about having a passion for rock n roll. similar to black sabbath's 'heaven & hell'/led zepplin's 'stairway to heaven', legendary rockstars think deeply/philosophically on tour, sometimes under the influence of lsd where the trip/neurological effects last anywhere from hours to days. this song is about their passion/creative process.
