The devil is at my windowsill
The devil is in my yard
Take me with you, Father, I can hear him breathing hard
For a life of leisure I have sacrificed my soul
Satan's waiting for me a little further down the road
I tell you this is confidence, that I am a feeble man
but in my final hour I hold out my wicked hand
Are you listening, Father? I am doing what i'm told
I feel the weight of my life, can you help me bare the load?
I have a sickness down in the pit of me
I never thought my deeds would stick with me
Let me in your favor now (who ain't a sinner, anyhow?)
I can see a shadow sweeping all across the sky
Something is lurking in the bloodshot corner of my eye
Why have you forsaken this man in his time of need?
To hell with you for leaving
Now it's down to Hell for me
