High up on you, you display good traits though few.
We've found time alone will tell.
This disease keeps holding me down.
Try to run when bear sleep.
To imagine us away.
He said come, fly around my he'll.
And know this, you seem to be
Too scared to run.
Wish I had your faults
Nothing seems to phase you
Lies, you're much more than just human.
I was high up on you til the shadows began to crawl.
Some say we can never know from just how far down this beast has come.
Too scared to run
So scared to run
Wish I had your faults
Nothing seems to phase you
Lies, you're much more than just human."
We've found time alone will tell.
This disease keeps holding me down.
Try to run when bear sleep.
To imagine us away.
He said come, fly around my he'll.
And know this, you seem to be
Too scared to run.
Wish I had your faults
Nothing seems to phase you
Lies, you're much more than just human.
I was high up on you til the shadows began to crawl.
Some say we can never know from just how far down this beast has come.
Too scared to run
So scared to run
Wish I had your faults
Nothing seems to phase you
Lies, you're much more than just human."

LOEFFLER: Uh, “An Evening with El Diablo” it's kind of ... that's a little bit of a joke, too. It's about meeting a person that you sort of randomly meet. I think it's about a specific time when Pete met somebody, and thought “Wow, this person's really cool” and then finds out later on that they're exactly the opposite of everything good. Essentially that they're the devil. Um, not literally the devil, but everything that you would say that is bad in this world that person is about that.
KNAC.COM: The devil's spawn.
LOEFFLER: Yeah. But your first impression is that this person's really cool -- I wanna hang out with them and do this and that, and then you go out with them and find out that they're snorting everything they can get and that they're bagging every girl they come across... all this stuff. It was about a time you met somebody like that and it's funny how people can cover up the real things that they're about so that they can get to a certain point and then they unload on you. So it's about finding out later, “Wow, I just spent an evening with the devil.” It started out cool and in the end I realized that this guy was crazy.
*Try to run when YOU sleep*
*Fly around my HELL*
*Nothing seems to FAZE you*
*I was high ABOVE you* (different the second time)
*Some say we can never know - just how far down* (No "from" there)
The last time he screams "so scared", he screams "to lie" after it instead of "to run".
And he says "Wish I had your faults" twice more at the end.
As far as the lyrical interpretation, it seems to obviously be about the devil, but that's as far as I got before it made no sense. The meaning doesn't matter as much to me because the music is awesome!
