Devil On My Shoulder

The lyrics are a little off. This is what I hear.

"As I get closer, my dreams get farther I climb that ladder, but you kick it over Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker

I dug a hole so deep I'm gonna drown in my mistakes can't even sell my soul 'Cause it ain't worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)

Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen There ain't no pot of gold, just copper tokens I found the key to life, the lock was broken All my accomplishments, are best left unspoken

I dug a hole so deep I'm gonna drown in my mistakes can't even sell my soul 'Cause it ain't worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)

My horror story is nearly over I said I'm sorry, but I was sober I beg for mercy from my infernal friend The one that drives the nails into my coffin

I got the devil on my shoulder I got the devil on my shoulder

I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) They come to take me, take me over (closer and closer) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)"

Great opening track. It seems to be about digging your own grave and having the whole world turn on you.
