No pointy tail. No horns upon his head He’ll bring a curse upon you. You’ll think that you’ve been blessed As he summons up the basest thoughts you try to keep repressed You’ll claim he’s persecuted when justice comes to call Then just like that he’ll turn on you and let you take the fall When to your very thinking, you’ve ceded him control You may not recognize it but the Devil has your soul! |
