Devil Woman

Woke up this morning,

With evil in my eye!

Didn't sleep much last night,

'Cause I was getting high!

Round and round,

You were racing in my brain...

Bad thoughts overwhelming,

Like a hurricane.

You showed up,

My poison and my pain!

Back again you came,

Racing through my brain!

Flowing in my blood stream,

Controlling via veins!

Devil Woman disguised as fun

Masking blame.

Woke up this morning,

With evil in my eye!

Didn't sleep much last night,

'Cause I was getting high!

Again, I saw the red lights,

The dinghy rooms.

Reflection in the mirror;

Devil Woman groomed.

No cash!

No future in sight:

Forgot tomorrow!

You kept me in last night.

Felt I had the power,

Thought I hid the pain!

Woke up this morning,

Felt the shame.

Woke up this Morning,

With evil in my eye!

Didn't sleep much last night,

'Cause I was getting high!

No food for a fortnight;

A skeleton in my skin!

Matted hair stinking,

A rough unshaven chin.

Now I really need you!

I used up my supply.

Temptation strong must please you!

Devil Woman... desiring eye.

You took away my sanity!

You took away my friends!

You almost took this life from me,

And still our love wont end!

Devil Woman I hate you,

I see you for your lies!

No longer you deceive me:

NOW'S the time to face my cries.

Woke up this morning,

With evil in my eye!

Didn't sleep much last night,

'Cause I was getting high!

Devil Woman

You got me crazy for the last time!

Devil Woman...

Goodbye!
