Lyrics
Devil to Pay
Marghi Allen
(c)1983
Verse 1
I was so wild
Was so free
Never gave a thought
To anyone but me
Now my time is running out
Hear the beat of the drum
Got the devil to pay
For the things I?ve done
Verse 2:
Too late for sorrow
It?s too late for shame
He?s got my number
Lord he knows my name
I never reckoned
There?d come a day
When I?d be busted
With the devil to pay
Chorus:
Well he don?t want silver
Don?t want gold
He can?t be bought
He can?t be sold
I?m running scared
Gotta pay the toll
Got the devil to pay
And he wants my soul.
Verse 3:
When I think of heaven
Lord, I see the light
But it?s just beyond me
Then it fades from sight
Leaving only emptiness
And this killing pain
Then I?m lost in darkness
With the devil again.
Chorus
Verse 4:
Well, if I could turn around
I would rue the day
That I turned my back on love
Tried to make my way
In a world of emptiness
In a world of sin
And I?d never know there was a devil within
Chorus/Ending
Who don?t want silver
Don?t want gold
Can?t be bought
Can?t be sold
I?m running scared
Gotta pay the toll
Got the devil to pay
And he wants my soul
Got the devil to pay
And he wants my soul
Got the devil to pay
And he wants my soul.
