The Devil to Pay

Go on girl take your chances

See how long you can go on from man to man

I can read the lines between your stolen glances

And I know it's time to fold this losing hand

'Cause you're drawn to the flame by the thrill and the shame

Of the cheatin' game they taught you how to play

You've got nothing to lose but your soul girl

And you've only the devil to pay

You've been flying so high you don't know

That you're blind to the writin' on the wall

But some day you'll look down

And you'll find you've got no place to fall

When the bright lights are gone you'll be standing alone

Forsaken in the naked light of day

Then you'll know that it's all over but the dying

And you've still got the devil to pay

Join your friends while you got 'em

'Cause you know they're gettin' fewer every day

You can't wait to let them take you to the bottom

And I'm gettin' tired of standin' in your way

But when you hit the ground don't come looking around

For the pieces of the love you threw away

That's the price of the high life you're livin'

And you still got the devil to pay

You've been flying so high you don't know

That you're blind to the writin' on the wall

But some day you'll look down

And you'll find you've got no place to fall

When the bright lights are gone you'll be standing alone

Forsaken in the naked light of day

Then you'll know that it's all over but the dying

And you've still got the devil to pay
