lyrics

Sometimes I get the devil in my eyes
Otherwise he steps aside
Cannot predict when he’ll call my name
I call him my brother just the same

Sometimes the devil slips into my mind
He’s in my body all the time
No one else that I can blame
He’s my own devil to tame

Sometimes the devil’s hand is in mine
I can’t say I mind
I think I’ll learn to live with him
Livin’ in the light and livin’ in sin

Sometimes I get the devil in my eyes
Sometimes his evil plans are mine
Deliver me from me or him
