Dancing With the Devil

Remember, dancing with the devil In life will take it's toll For, dancing with the devil In the end will take your soul Many who have done it Reached the top only to die Many souls we thought in heaven Could never get that high The Forever 27 club playing in the band Janis, Jim and Jimi In hell, oh....ain't it grand We thought them all as angels But, the truth it rings a bell They were dancing with the devil And they ended up in hell Cobain and Amy Winehouse Oh yeah, they're down there too Brian Jones and others Playing hard rock and the blues Sell your soul to Satan Where you go...you do not choose If you spend time with the devil It's nothing but bad news Remember, dancing with the devil In life will take it's toll For, dancing with the devil In the end will take your soul Many who have done it Reached the top only to die Many souls we thought in heaven Could never get that high There's others there who did the dance Hit the crossroads, sold their soul Drugs and drink and suicide That's how this devil rolls Some may get redemption For the things they do in life they sold out with their talent They were dancing on a knife The band is hot, and so's the place They play here every night We wish they were in heaven But, deep down you know I'm right Elvis, yes, the king is here He did drugs and did the dance Now, he's singing for the devil He never had a chance Remember, dancing with the devil In life will take it's toll For, dancing with the devil In the end will take your soul Many who have done it Reached the top only to die Many souls we thought in heaven Could never get that high So many tortured people So many who did wrong They traded with the devil For the price of just a song Rock and Roll in heaven Has a great band, just the same But, with Janis, Jim and Jimi here They just don't have the game.
