i spoke to the devil but he had nothing to say
cuz i had beat him down, beat him all damn day
Beelzebub came a knockin', came up right to my door
tried to whisper sweet nothin's, so i put him on the floor
i spoke to the devil
i spoke with my fist
i spoke to the devil
now he's on my list
'course there is what freddy said about the black abyss
can you win that staring game and make Satan miss?
if this is that hubris thing, then just let me be
if i can make my way there blind, his blood will set me free
i spoke to the devil
Mephistopheles
i spoke to the devil
you want no truck with me
though it winds like a serpent, i can walk the path
sow the seeds of destruction, pick the grapes of wrath
i spoke to the devil but was only talkin' aloud
i am my own hemlock; i weave my own shroud
i spoke to the devil
bluffed the father of lies
i spoke to the devil, boy
you better let me pass on by
i spoke to the devil
Mephistopheles
i spoke to the devil & lived
you want no truck with me
