Lady Lucifer
January 1, 1991
Well I’m gazing out the window
With her fingers running through my hair
The neon lights are flashing
Taking raindrop pictures in the air
I’m in Heaven with a guitar And a woman with a bottle and a smoke So won’t you tell me another story now baby And I’ll play you the new song I wrote
With a burst of thunder and a flash of light I hit the floor With a dragon tatoo and a leather skirt she stood in the door The flame from her fingers called me closer to those eyes so blue She said “just give me your soul and I’ll make all your dreams come true”
Now I’m wondering just how in the hell I got into all of this That red-haired woman stole my soul with just one kiss? Oh no no you can’t tell me that
Well I wake up sweating bullets And I feel like I been knocked out of bed The nightmares are so real it’s like a slide-show horror film Imprinted in my head
I can hear a million souls Screaming the agony of flesh and fire It makes me think about that woman And the price of everything I desire
On my knees I swear to God I didn’t know it was real I fell in lust and she cut me into one of her deals I’m on top of the world but I’d give it all up right now I sold my soul to the Devil but I’ll get it back somehow
Now Satan speaks to me and walls are burning black He said, “ You made a deal with me and now you want to take it back?” Oh no no, You can’t tell me that
I’m in Heaven with a guitar And a woman with a bottle and a smoke So won’t you tell me another story now baby And I’ll play you the new song I wrote
With a burst of thunder and a flash of light I hit the floor With a dragon tatoo and a leather skirt she stood in the door The flame from her fingers called me closer to those eyes so blue She said “just give me your soul and I’ll make all your dreams come true”
Now I’m wondering just how in the hell I got into all of this That red-haired woman stole my soul with just one kiss? Oh no no you can’t tell me that
Well I wake up sweating bullets And I feel like I been knocked out of bed The nightmares are so real it’s like a slide-show horror film Imprinted in my head
I can hear a million souls Screaming the agony of flesh and fire It makes me think about that woman And the price of everything I desire
On my knees I swear to God I didn’t know it was real I fell in lust and she cut me into one of her deals I’m on top of the world but I’d give it all up right now I sold my soul to the Devil but I’ll get it back somehow
Now Satan speaks to me and walls are burning black He said, “ You made a deal with me and now you want to take it back?” Oh no no, You can’t tell me that
