The Devil's Deal

I made a deal with the Devil, yeah

And I'm going down

Down to the bottom

Of the hole I been diggin'

My old patna, they call him Lester Lee

Look like he caught himself a case of leprosy

Couldn't find no lady wanna let him see

What she got nestled beneath her clothin'

Yeah

I felt for the fella, I told him "mess wit me"

We gon' find you a slice of heaven 'fore you Rest In Peace

We put our heads together and Blessed Be

We wrote the recipe for a love potion

I made a deal with the Devil, yeah

And I'm going down

Down to the bottom

Of the hole I been diggin'

The very next morning as he went to town

Lester sipped a swig of potion and he swished it 'round

Got a good buzz goin', then he spit it out

Thought "I'm in business now- this stuff's potent"

Yeah

Went to the red light district to pick a mistress out

Sniffed a Pretty Little Vixen like a chicken hound

Hit her with the elixir in a minute's count

She was smitten and how the men noticed

And Satan noticed too

I made a deal with the Devil, yeah

And I'm going down

Down to the bottom

Of the hole I been diggin'

Word of mouth like wildfire, we opened a shop

Business was boomin', the local men and women flocked

Love was in the air, the souls hopelessly lost

We'd watch 'em float down the block drunk on romance

Yeah

Late one night as we was closin' up shop

Lightning cracked, Lucifer showed up on the spot

Said "I like what y'all doin', cut me in on the action"

Me and Lester only could nod, fearfully frozen

I made a deal with the Devil, yeah

And I'm going down

Down to the bottom

Of the hole I been diggin'

The prince of darkness continued, "This seems like my jurisdiction

So I'ma make you an offer with the best of intentions

Y'all get rich on love liquor, gotta make a Goddamned living

I just want my percentage as a token"

Yeah

We shook and signed on line, and everything was official

Baphomet tipped his hat, and with a snap: Disapparition

We stood stock still, stunned, felt like the clock stopped tickin'

We'd found ourselves in a pickle with the Old Man

And Old Man Satan's cruel

I made a deal with the Devil, yeah

And I'm going down

Down to the bottom

Of the hole I been diggin'
