SHOOT THE DEVIL
Lookin’ at an angel -17 years old
Jesus was her savior -but now she’s sold her soul
Love comes by the dozen -whets her appetite
Leaves her in the morning then comes back again at night
Load your shotgun by the spoonful just to try to ease the pain
Shoot the Devil
I’m lookin’ at an angel he’s 17 years old
Fire burned inside his eyes but now it’s all gone cold
He ain’t got no lover - he ain’t got no friends
He ain’t got nobody he’s just waitin’ for the end
He loads his shotgun by the bottle just to try to ease the pain
Shoot the Devil that keeps
runnin’ round your brain
(SOLO)
Yeah I’m lookin’ at an angel - out there on the ledge
Lookin’ for the answers on some back street south shore bridge
Things are gettin’ heavy - your in just a little too deep
The river’s lookin’ cold now and you just can’t take the heat
Voices always callin’ - knockin’ at your door
Body’s always screaming - crying out for more
Load your shotgun by the water just to try to ease the pain....
Shoot the Devil....
Shoot the Devil....
He’s messin’ with your head and you’re better off dead....
Oh sweet angel can’t you see - what that devil done to me
Shoot the Devil....
Shoot the Devil....
