Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

We'll have no time upon Cloud Nine

So Heaven on Earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird

And dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

'Cause I made a deal with the Devil

And when I die

I'm going Straight to Hell

Oh Yeah

I'm going Straight to Hell

Standing at the Crossroads

He offered wine women and song

Riches, Fame and Fortune

In my hands from that day on

I was granted there and then

A life of Rock and Roll

It seemed like such a bargain

For just one eternal soul

I know I'll curse this damned decision

And I'll regret it the moment I fall

But I'll be making the most

of a bad situation

Till my number is called

Sometimes I swear I've come out on top

In this ill conceived contract

There's nights I say

it's a small price to pay

For the life and times I've had

I think "Here's to the Gents and Ladies

And the foolish times we spent

They cost me Afterlife in Paradise

And they were worth every single cent"

So have a dance

with the walking damned

Before my time is done

A deal is a deal and I really doubt

Fire and Brimstone will be much fun

I have every expectation

That my final prayers will go unheard

And my veiled death bed confession

Will not move the Mighty Lord

I'm sure that I'll be sorry

When he slams St. Peter's Gate

But I'll dive right into damnation

With a smile across my face
