Dancing With The Devil

Remember, dancing with the devil
In life will take its toll
For, dancing with the devil
In the end will take your soul
Many who have done it
Reached the top only to die
Many souls we thought in heaven
Could never get that high
The Forever 27 club
playing in the band
Janis, Jim and Jimi
In hell, oh….ain’t it grand
We thought them all as angels
But, the truth it rings a bell
They were dancing with the devil
And they ended up in hell
Cobain and Amy Winehouse
Oh yeah, they’re down there too
Brian Jones and others
Playing hard rock and the blues
Sell your soul to Satan
Where you go…you do not choose
If you spend time with the devil
It’s nothing but bad news
Remember, dancing with the devil
In life will take its toll
For, dancing with the devil
In the end will take your soul
Many who have done it
Reached the top only to die
Many souls we thought in heaven
Could never get that high
There’s others there who did the dance
Hit the crossroads, sold their soul
Drugs and drink and suicide
That’s how this devil rolls
Some may get redemption
For the things they do in life
they sold out with their talent
They were dancing on a knife
The band is hot, and so’s the place
They play here every night
We wish they were in heaven
But, deep down you know I’m right
Elvis, yes, the king is here
He did drugs and did the dance
Now, he’s singing for the devil
He never had a chance
Remember, dancing with the devil
In life will take its toll
For, dancing with the devil
In the end will take your soul
Many who have done it
Reached the top only to die
Many souls we thought in heaven
Could never get that high
So many tortured people
So many who did wrong
They traded with the devil
For the price of just a song
Rock and Roll in heaven
Has a great band, just the same
But, with Janis, Jim and Jimi here
They just don’t have the game.
