Oh to be the fire, I am just a man

Oh to walk the wire, believing that I can

And reach on down your throat

To tear it out

Find out what the inside's all about

Justify my envy

Jealousy to fail

In perfect, deadly harmony

Hold the devil by the tail

Devil, by the tail

Oh to slay the liar, he speaks for me, a man

Oh to try, conspire, believing that I can

Reach into your heart

And pull it out

Find out what the beating’s all about

Justify my envy

Jealousy to fail

In perfect, deadly harmony

Hold the devil by the tail

Devil, by the tail

Run your devil up the pole

Into my domain

The forgotten drool, like rabid dogs

By any other name

They growl, they bark, they gnaw at me

I still hear them wail

Pray to hold what I hold

A devil by the tail

Devil, by the tail

Run your devil, out your soul

By any other name

Devil, by the tail

Run your devil, take control

Before we go insane

Devil...

Hey Mr. Lucifer, do you have my pay?

I’m done with working here, as of today

Hey Mr. Savior, do you ever seem to fail?

And got what I got, a devil by the tail

Devil...

By the tail...
