Looking for someone to bless you?
You know I do what I do
Punch drunk in a haze
In disorder, in that order
Say a Hail Mary, you'll catch a fish
Won't save you from my nonsense
Smoked to death, I got nerves to wreck
Don't forget, I'm in your corner

I decided long ago to throw those years away [1]
Used to be in misery but no more
I know I've been a sinner that's just my history
The devil don't know I'm dead yet
The devil don't know I'm dead yet
The devil don't know I'm dead yet, so don't tell him

Shit lists, I've been on a few
I'll make some more before I'm through
Ripping through my veins, ice water

And if you wanna call me after midnight
I'll be listening to "Running with the Devil"[2]

I decided long ago to throw those years away
Used to be in misery but no more
I know I've been a sinner, that's just my history
The devil don't know I'm dead yet
The devil don't know I'm dead yet
The devil don't know I'm dead

Sometimes the choice is
The stick or the whip [3]
Either way, I don't give a shit
We all got to pay dues

'Cause when you're rocking in the free world, it don't come cheap
And that's the way it'll always be
Till I'm old and grey, till I'm dead to the world
I've got a show tonight

Call me after midnight
Call me after midnight
Call me after midnight
I'll do the same in your honour
Till I'm a goner

I decided long ago to throw those years away
Used to be in misery but no more
I know I've been a sinner, that's just my history

The devil don't know I'm dead yet
The devil don't know I'm dead yet
The devil don't know I'm dead
