Love me now while we're alive
|
It's the best thing we can do
|
We'll have no time upon Cloud Nine
|
So Heaven on Earth will have to do
|
I can sing like a bird
|
And dance like a demon
|
And I do it all so well
|
'Cause I made a deal with the Devil
|
And when I die
|
I'm going Straight to Hell
|
Oh Yeah
|
I'm going Straight to Hell
|
|
Standing at the Crossroads
|
He offered wine women and song
|
Riches, Fame and Fortune
|
In my hands from that day on
|
I was granted there and then
|
A life of Rock and Roll
|
It seemed like such a bargain
|
For just one eternal soul
|
I know I'll curse this damned decision
|
And I'll regret it the moment I fall
|
But I'll be making the most
|
of a bad situation
|
Till my number is called
|
|
Sometimes I swear I've come out on top
|
In this ill conceived contract
|
There's nights I say
|
it's a small price to pay
|
For the life and times I've had
|
I think "Here's to the Gents and Ladies
|
And the foolish times we spent
|
They cost me Afterlife in Paradise
|
And they were worth every single cent"
|
So have a dance
|
with the walking damned
|
Before my time is done
|
A deal is a deal and I really doubt
|
Fire and Brimstone will be much fun
|
|
I have every expectation
|
That my final prayers will go unheard
|
And my veiled death bed confession
|
Will not move the Mighty Lord
|
I'm sure that I'll be sorry
|
When he slams St. Peter's Gate
|
But I'll dive right into damnation
|
With a smile across my face
|
|
|
