Walk With The Devil

St. Petersburg on Saturday

Waiting for a train to take me out of here

It's not the first time

I've been standing in the mashed potato snow

Word reached me this morning, you were planning on leaving

There's just one thing for me to say before you go

You can walk with the devil, you can walk into the sun

You can walk with the angels, won't be seen

You can walk through the border, you can walk on down the hall

You can walk with the devil

But you'll never walk again with me

We had such a subtle thing

We could turn the kitchen into Singapore

Like a rickshaw ride

On a number 109 to Mandalay

You could even make the traffic stop

Oh, just by standing in the street

I can't explain, we could have won on points

But the devil had to carry you away

You can dine with the devil

With Errol Flynn at fifty by your side

And Tallulah fucking Bankhead at your feet

You can dine with the devil, you can follow him down there

You can dine with the devil

But you'll find the wine he serves is far too sweet

There's no point, you're almost gone

'Coz the devil doesn't wait for tawdry last goodbyes

And that's okay, they're stupid anyway

My life was getting like a zoo

Hundreds and thousands of half-mad people

They're all dead already

And the angels only look the other way

Go walk with the devil, yeah go where you please

'Cause to walk with the devil comes free

You can walk with the devil, you can walk on down the hall

You can walk with the devil

When you could have been walking with me

You can walk with the devil, you can walk into another life

Though I doubt you're gonna like the things you see

You can walk with the devil

Though for me it's much too much too late

You can walk with the devil

But you'll never ever walk again with me
