Lyrics:
As I was walking down that dusty road
‘Saw familiar stranger with eyes of coal
Devil in the crossroads, no angels in the wings
As I approached I heard him sing
Take a load off, sit down with me
Pour a little sugar in your turpentine
Yellow sun setting, pale moon on the rise,
you hear what I say, now look in my eyes
Give me what I want I’ll take all I need
Nothing personal, it’s just greed
Look a little closer, what do you see/
‘Cause looking at you, I’m looking at me
His slack jawed grin lit up in a red red glow
That fire in his eyes ain’t just for show
Words slithered out of his forked tongue faux facade
Keep your silk noose t’yourself, my own grave’s already made
Take a load off, sit down with me
Pour a little sugar in your turpentine
Yellow sun setting, pale moon on the rise,
you hear what I say, now look in my eyes
Give me what I want I’ll take all I need
Nothing personal, it’s just greed
Look a little closer, what do you see/
‘Cause looking at you, I’m looking at me
That fiendish glare crawled down my spine
Was my soul his, and his mine?
That low growl echoed in my ear
As the stranger drew in near.
He said…
Son, do you know what I see?
The Devil in you is the devil in me!
Take a load off, sit down with me
Pour a little sugar in your turpentine
Yellow sun setting, pale moon on the rise,
you hear what I say, now look in my eyes
Give me what I want I’ll take all I need
Nothing personal, it’s just greed
Look a little closer, what do you see/
‘Cause looking at you, I’m looking at me
