Dancing With the Devil

I 
danced 
with the 
Devil at 
the age 
of 
seventeen,and 
he 
danced 
me 
down to 
Hell and 
back 
and 
places in 
between,  
Now 
the 
Devil 
was no 
friend of 
mine 
and 
often 
did me 
wrong,introduced 
me to 
the 
meddle 
and the 
Crack 
rock on 
the 
bong,               
Introduced 
me to a 
twilight 
world 
where 
drugs 
were 
my 
affliction,I 
took a 
chance,began 
the 
dance,straight 
into 
drug 
addiction,             
I 
danced 
with the 
Devil 
and we 
danced 
into the 
night,where 
everything 
that 
mattered 
now was 
coloured 
brown 
or 
white,                   
Now 
the 
Devil he 
was 
devious 
my road 
to self 
destruct,began 
the day 
we 
danced 
away to 
realise I 
was 
hooked,         
So if 
Satan 
asks you 
for a 
dance 
please 
heed 
the tale 
I tell,or  
you'll 
be 
dancing 
with the 
Devil 
and 
he'll 
dance 
you 
straight 
to Hell.
