Well you can sell your soul to the devil on Saturday night
You might turn your head at the winking of his light
But know that the glittering price that he offers, well it aint no gold
It won't balance it's weight with the worth of what's being sold
Don't believe him, turn him away
Don't receive him, don't let him stay
Because he's a thief at the end of the day
What he's got up his sleeve is what he's using to pay
It's a ticket for a one-way ride across the river
Charon is your chauffeur and he's sure to deliver
One-way rides across the river Styx

Think Again

If you think I'm gonna leave you
Think again
I know you worry, sometimes you doubt
Think someday I'm sure to pack my bags and walk on out
Maybe I'm a little tough, don't I show you enough?
For all that I am lacking, I hope you'll never feel without
I know your first lover left you, first loves always do
How else could we be certain when we've found somebody true?
The world is full of broken hearts, scattered pieces, missing parts
But our rough edges fit so well, let's get some superglue
If you think I'm gonna leave you
Think again
There'll still be trouble, we can't stop a thunderstorm
The devil moves amongst us, his blunders to perform
There'll be time enough for weeping, but our time together's for keeping
Let it rain, bring howling winter, I will keep you warm
If you've already poured yourself a drink
Don't make it double, make it two
Because tonight I will be staying here with you
You don't need to drown your sorrows, we can toast our tomorrows
Because I love you, through and through
If you think I'm gonna leave you
Think again
Think again, think twice
If you're still unsure, go on and think thrice!
I never wish to be parted, with you I'm wholehearted
I'm yours, flaws and all
So remember this when you think
That I might leave you, and then
Think again
If you think I'm gonna leave you
Think again

The Devastation

How can you roll away so easy
And leave me stranded out along the track?
You took me down to the Devastation
You’re the only one can bring me back
When you came well you came without warning
Picked me up right off of my feet
Did you think I looked a little lonely?
Did I look a little incomplete?
How can you let me down so easy
And leave me stranded out along the track?
You took me down to the Devastation
You’re the only one can bring me back
When we started out the sun was up and shining
Sure we passed on through a little rain
Where you dropped me off the dark clouds are looming
Bitter winds are blowing again
How can you roll away so easy
And leave me stranded out along the track?
You took me down to the Devastation
You’re the only one can bring me back
Well they say that home is
Right where the heart is
In which case I’m homeless
If you’re not here
Should I just keep waiting?
Are you returning ?
You know I’ve been learning how to love you
Where I might have let you down before
Sometimes I think I see you in the distance
With another in your arms
How I wish it was me still there with you
Laughing at your foolish charms
How can you pass me by so easy
And leave me stranded out along the track?
You took me down to the Devastation
You’re the only one can bring me back

All The Time It Goes

Yes I’m leaving
Watch me tie my shoes
I’ll take the rhythm
You can keep the blues
Yes I’m leaving
Watch me tie my shoes
I’m taking the rhythm with me
And I’m gonna leave you with the blues
Do you hear a drone
That shakes you right down to the bone?
Do you hear the drums?
They’re beating out
The end as it comes
And don’t it make you wonder
Where all the time it goes?
My heart has tricked me
So I must use my head
What we were building
We must erase instead
My heart has tricked me, yes
So I must use my head
What we were building
We must erase instead
As we join the dance
We slip ourselves into a trance
Give in to the night
And now we shake our fists
We’re pissed in the morning light
And don’t it make you wonder
Where all the time it goes?
Now, you might find a different place from which you can begin
To get down to business, and maybe settle in
But if you want to move on, you’ve got to make up your mind
What to keep hold of, and what to leave behind
And don’t it make you wonder
Where all the time it goes?
