Shake Hands With The Devil

Shake Hands With The Devil



1V.
I met the devil on a Wednesday night
He said, hang with me, your future looks bright
I can give you what you only imagined before
Just leave your conscience at the door

1C.
Watch out when you shake hands with the devil
Everytime you lose a little of your soul
Watch out when you shake hands with the devil
Sometimes you can't crawl up out of the bottom of that hole

2V.
Now son I know about that seven year itch
And those vows can be a real son of a *****
Now here's a real sweetheart of a deal
All you have to do is let me take the wheel

2C. -- 2X
Bridge -- Have mercy, have mercy on me (2X)
Solo

3V.
I said it all sounds good and as good as it seems
To live out my fantasies and live out my dreams
But I'm gonna have to pass cuz' I'm not really scared of you
But I am scared of what my wife will do
And hell ain't nearly too far enough away
from the *** kickin' that I will have comin' my way

3C. -- 2X Then Out.

Another good one.I'm not going to comment on people that post and give no replies.This is a great lyric.....nonetheless.

Thanks yeah I have been kind of focusing on a more blues/rock sort of thingy

I have a similar song that I wrote but I like yours better. By the way, I love blues music. I've really been getting into some of the Blues/Rock/Fusion artists lately. I find they're not so limited to the original blues formula but still hold to some of the great tenants that make blues such a rich and wonderful music.

Oh yes. BLUES has always shaken the ground underneath Doug and me, BachinBlack. And I agree that this song about the Consciousness and the Devil is kinda attractive.
Already in the kids' harlequintheatre of Punch and Judy the Devil plays an important role. No wonder!

Catchy borderline addictive haha totally enjoyed it
Ps end verse easily my favourite

You've found the words you need to express something with few words! Great!

This is a really good lyric. All kinds of potential with respect to what could be played musically underneath it as well as how the lyric itself could be phrased. Very good job.
