As I get closer,
my dreams get farther.
I climb the ladder,
but you kick it over.
Thirsty for water
you give me vinegar.
When I drink your medicine,
it just makes me sicker.


I dug a hole so deep,
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes.
Can't even sell my soul,
'cause it ain't worth shit to take


I've got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I've got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)


Follow that rainbow,
my lucky omen
There ain't no pot of gold,
Just copper tokens
I found the key to life,
the lock was broken.
All my accomplishments,
are best left unspoken.


I dug a hole so deep,
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes.
Can't even sell my soul,
'cause it ain't worth shit to take.


I've got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I've got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)


My horror story,
is nearly over.
I said I'm sorry,
But I was sober.
I beg for mercy
from my infernal friend
The one that drives the nails 
into my coffin


I've got the devil on my shoulder...
I've got the devil on my shoulder...
I've got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
They come to take me, take me over (closer and closer)
I've got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
