  • There's a black hill
    We had a climb
    Everything I need but nothings mine
    Satan's world, I've had a kill
    Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
    Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
    Oh man won't do it, but the devil will

    I'm losing time and my mind
    Why can't I ever have what's naturally mine?
    I got life and the things that go with it
    If there's something else, where can i get it?
    Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
    Oh man won't do it, but the devil will

    Well here's my views, I always lose
    Things I want to do are yesterday's news
    Say life's a ball, I've had it all
    Out there in another dance hall
    Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
    Oh man won't do it, but the devil will

    Take me as I am, an excuse for a man
    Wherever I push someone stops my hand
    As a matter of interest, tell me if you will
    Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
    Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
    Oh man won't do it, but the devil will

    Oh, why won't Rosemary ever take the pill? Writer/s: IAN PAICE, JON LORD, NICHOLAS SIMPER, RITCHIE BLACKMORE, ROD EVANS
