As I get closer, my dreams get farther
I climb the ladder, but you kick it over
Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker
I dug a hole so deep, I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul, cause it ain't worth s*** to take
I got the devil on my shoulder...over and over
And I just can't sink any lower...lower and lower
The hounds of hell are getting closer...closer and closer
I got the devil on my shoulder...over and over
Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen
There ain't no pot of gold, just copper tokens
I found the key to life, the lock was broken
All my accomplishments, are best left unspoken
I dug a hole so deep, I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul, cause it ain't worth s*** to take
I got the devil on my shoulder...over and over
And I just can't sink any lower...lower and lower
The hounds of hell are getting closer...closer and closer
I got the devil on my shoulder...over and over
My horror story, is nearly over
I said I'm sorry, but I was sober
I beg for mercy, from my infernal friend
The one that drives the nails, into my coffin
I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder ...over and over
And I just can't sink any lower...lower and lower
They've come to take me, take me over...over and over
I got the devil on my shoulder...over and over
I climb the ladder, but you kick it over
Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker
I dug a hole so deep, I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul, cause it ain't worth s*** to take
I got the devil on my shoulder...over and over
And I just can't sink any lower...lower and lower
The hounds of hell are getting closer...closer and closer
I got the devil on my shoulder...over and over
Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen
There ain't no pot of gold, just copper tokens
I found the key to life, the lock was broken
All my accomplishments, are best left unspoken
I dug a hole so deep, I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul, cause it ain't worth s*** to take
I got the devil on my shoulder...over and over
And I just can't sink any lower...lower and lower
The hounds of hell are getting closer...closer and closer
I got the devil on my shoulder...over and over
My horror story, is nearly over
I said I'm sorry, but I was sober
I beg for mercy, from my infernal friend
The one that drives the nails, into my coffin
I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder ...over and over
And I just can't sink any lower...lower and lower
They've come to take me, take me over...over and over
I got the devil on my shoulder...over and over
