  • I woke up one morning to know that I had gone
    Finally taken the step and jumped right off the wall
    When you come to call on me that's why my eyes are glazed
    I've been with the devil in the devil's resting place
    I am loathed to say that I have been to stay
    I've been with the devil in the devil's resting place

    When you ask to drink of me I think out on the case
    Look down to my aloe cup and take myself a taste
    Bitterness is thick like blood and cold as a wind sea breeze
    If you must drink of me, take of me what you please
    I am loathed to say it's the devil's taste
    I've been with the devil in the devil's resting place

    Water won't clean you, water won't clean you
    You only hold yourself to the things you do

    Come up here to speak to me and hold your face to mine
    Any man can hold my gaze has done his job just fine
    You just sold your life away to be with me tonight
    Hold your head against my chest, I think you'll be just fine
    I am loathed to say it's the devil's place
    I go with the devil where the devil rests his face
    I've been with the devil where the devil rests his face

    Water won't clean you, water won't clean you
    You only hold yourself to the things you do
    You only hold yourself to the things you do
