Devil Outside the Door Songtext
von Angry Johnny and the Killbillies

I hear the devil laughing think he's right outside the door
If this is it I wonder what my sorry life was for
For all the things I've done it seems that Hell is my reward
I was raised up on the Bible to be let down by the Lord

Jesus I am asking one last time if You are there
Send some kind of sign for me and show me that You care
I'm down here on my prayin' bones ashamed of all my pride
Please tell me You'll be waiting when I reac h the other side


tell 'em all I said goodbye ain't no turnin' back this time
And you can tell 'em not to cry tell 'em all that I am feelin' fine
Who cares if it's a lie the truth is just a waste of time...
Easy to leave it all behind, cuz it was never really mine

It wasn't s'posed to be like this why wasn't everything OK
One too many one last kiss too many ones that got away
Sick of always fallin' down think I'll stay just as I lie
Throw some dirt on me.throw some dirt and walk on by

Don't shake your fucking heads not while your looking down on me
Cuz you ain't got a clue and I don't need your sympathy
Nobody can help me now my time for saving is long gone
I threw it all away must be a million years ago


Old Scratch is on his way now, he's coming up to get his prize
I'm down here on my prayin' bones forgive me for my pride
Kiss her goodbye for me and tell her that I tried
Now Hell's the only thing that's waitin' for me on the other side
