Bitter End

The devil pulls me toward your street And I'm afraid But intrigued Cause I've been starved of your delicacy And lover, please don't leave me bare Cause I've never been worse for wear If you wash me down with a shot of vodka Then I'll watch you blow away with the smoke from your pipe Then we'll be up all night Keeping track of all our old crimes Time to walk away It's the bitter end Cause I've been stuck with no room To break or to bend I'm afraid of the devil But not of you And I'll never settle so you must let me through I waited for the other shoe to drop For a sign from God to tell me to stop But the devil's signs are neon And so much brighter Than the old road signs God provides They tell only truth But the devil tells pretty lies Pretty lies Pretty lies Strip me of my religion and my dress And keep hoping that you'll find me dead Time to walk away It's the bitter end Cause I feel stuck with no room To break or to bend I'm afraid of the devil But not of you And I'll never settle So you must let me through Through You must let me through
