lyrics

The Devil quit the music biz
And now he's into politics
And corporate America
He's wondering where Jesus is
He's taking things slowly
Yes he is

The Devil felt that it was time
To ditch his mama's basement
The band that he was in went out
And looked for a replacement
But nobody could replace him
So the spot remained vacant
Yes it did

It was the end
The end of a good thing
No more messin' around with the blind folks
No more teachin' kids to swing
No more goddamn rock and roll
Now he's listening to the wind howl
From way down in his soul

Drive the dusty road
Into some red town
Waltz into a bar
And see the Devil sittin' down

Stranger things have happened, friends
It's dark the way it is
And the only seat in this joint
Is the one that's next to his

And he says "Hey, Son
Whatcha drinkin?
I'll buy you one
Yeah, I think that I'm washed up
I've been half of this toss up
For way too long"

He says, "if you want I can show you around
You see, theres a whole world underground
So if you found what I found
You'd be a fool to turn it down
Who needs gold?
I'll give you fire and sound
So close your eyes
You're mine now"

The Devil quit the music biz
And now he says it's my turn
But a billion years of gasoline
Can really make your eyes burn

How'd I let him catch me?
He even asked permission
So i took my seat upon his throne
And came to a decision

Rock and roll is dying slow
But man, do I have a vision
