Devil & the Hourglass

The devil walked in this morning With a contract in her hand She wore a dress that flowed like water And held an hourglass filled with sand She said to me one of these Days you gonna be an old lonely man But if you give yourself to me I'd like to give you a hand. Her hair was black as midnight And her eyes were steely cold Her touch set me on fire But now she won't let me go Today marks the day that I finally learn I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned. As she unrolled her wicked scroll A chill swept down my spine But "don't you fret" is what she said And then she flipped that glass and smiled I'll give you till that sand has settled still For you to make your mind Now just give yourself to me And everything is gonna be fine Her hair was black as midnight And her eyes were steely cold Her touch set me on fire But now she won't let me go Today marks the day that I finally learn I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned. As we got dressed back in sunday best The last grain hit the pile I'm sorry babe though it's been great I ain't gonna sign. She stabbed into my heart her devil eyes And whispered "baby that's fine" But you just gave yourself to me Hahaha. Well your already mine. Her hair was black as midnight And her eyes were steely cold Her touch set me on fire But now she won't let me go Today marks the day that I finally learn I made a deal with the devil herself and I got burned.
