Dancing With the Devil

I danced with the devil at the age of seventeen,and 
he danced with me to Hell n back and places in 
between,
Now the devil was no friend of mine and often did 
me wrong,introduced me to the needle and the rock 
upon the bong,
Introduced me to a twilight world where drugs were 
my affliction,I took a chance began to dance straight 
into drug addiction,
I danced with the devil and we danced into the 
night,where everything important now was coloured 
brown or white,
Now dont put your trust in Satan cause he wont cut 
you no slack,and be sure keep both eyes open or 
he'll stab you in the back,
So if he asks you for a dance pray heed the tale I 
tell,or you'll be dancing with the devil and he'll 
dance you straight to Hell.
