Devil For A Day lyrics

There s a part of me which hopes the Christians got it right:
That God is real and Hell exists where sinners burn.
Cause then I know we ll meet again, upon a flame-lit, starless night;
Chained side by side to stand in line and wait our turn.

I d love to spend eternity in purgatory with you,
Each breath of living death evokes a sweet nightmare, it s true.
Forever wracked with torment seems a paltry price to pay,
If they ll let me be your devil for a day.

Tis often said the good die young - that s how we lived so young.
And none deserve damnation more than we.
So I ll raise a hearty toast when I feel my buttocks roast.
Glad just knowing you re there suffering with me.

Your pretty pleas for mercy I m afraid will be in vain,
We compliment each other like the martyr and his pain
My soul hangs in the balance - let them have their wicked way,
If they ll let me be your devil for a day.

Love is blind, unkind and stupid,
Just another stunt for Cupid
Vile in the games we play
Purple patch - black lies betray
Humans are such futile creatures
Shallow-minded and capricious
Underhanded, cruel, deceitful
Hell is merely other people.

They ll torture me without restraint,
I ll take it all - make no complaints,
A smile across my broken face will play,
If they ll let me be your devil,
In my duties I would revel,
If they ll let me be your devil for a day.

Love is blind, unkind and stupid,
Just another stunt for Cupid
Vile in the games we play
Purple patch - black lies betray
Humans are such futile creatures
Shallow-minded and capricious
Underhanded, cruel, deceitful
Hell is merely other people.
