Downtown busted flat, times are gettin hard
My only freind is an old black cat, holdin', losin cards
Cuz I'm lyin in some cold alley
Learnin all there is to know about pain
Tryin' to find a quick salvation
Cuz the devil just called my name
Taking snow bound trips to nowhere
Ending up on a dead end street
Had my last smoke for breakfast
Finished up my last cup of tea
And my brain feels kind of foggy
From flyin' on a red airplane
Crashin' down in the gutter
Cuz the devil just called my name
He said son I'll soon be seeing you
Won't be long till I hold you in my arm
Show you all the pleasure, you've been searching for
Won't you hold to my hand
As we walk through hell's door
While my night time freinds surround me
And they whisper in my ear
Say it won't be long till he holds you boy
Your end is drawing near
And I'm riding in his black chariot
With a warlock at the reins
Soon my troubles will be over
Cuz the devil just called my name
He said son I'll soon be seeing you
Won't be long till I hold you in my arm
Show you all the pleasure, you've been searching for
Won't you hold to my hand
As we walk through hell's door
