Go on, girl, take your chances
See how long you can go on from man to man
I can read the lines between your stolen glances
And I know it's time to fold this losing hand
'Cause you're drawn to the flame
By the thrill and the shame
Of the cheating game they taught you how to play
You've got nothing to lose but your soul girl
And you've still got the devil to pay
You've been flying so high you don't know that you're blind to the writing- on the wall
But someday you'll look down & you'll find you've got no place to fall
When the bright lights are gone
You'll be standing alone
Forsaken in the naked light of day
Then you'll know that it's all over but the dying
And you've still got the devil to pay.
Join your friends, while you got 'em
'Cause you know you're getting fewer every day
You can't wait to let them take you to the bottom
And I'm getting tired of standing in your way
But when you hit the ground
Don't go lookin' around
For the pieces of the love you threw away
That's the price of the high life you're livin'
And you've still got the devil to pay.
You've been flying so high you don't know that you're blind to the writing- on the wall
But someday you'll look down & you'll find you've got no place to fall
When your bright lights are gone
You'll be standing alone
Forsaken in the naked light of day
Then you'll know that it's all over but the dying
And you've still got the devil to pay.
