Pay the Devil Toll

I can't see to your soul
Through these Cocaine filters
You need not get in my head
I'm just a little off-kilter

Breeze my way
Seize my day
Wreak decay
The weak do pray

I want in your head
To see how you tick
Out of me it bled
Decrepit and sick

If I just may
Go far astray
Just once a day
Too weak to pray

I can't see your brain
Through your Heroin eyes
Being nuts keeps us sane
Such a beautiful guise

Why such delay
Go 'head and betray
I'll send him your way
My good friend, disarray

Chain me on up
Just tie me on down
Take me to my bed
Before we take you to drown

Someone's gotta pay
Be that as it may
The devil's at play
Can't keep him at bay

Found his way to your soul
Through those cocaine eyes
And onward he'll roll
Till you light up the skies
