Devil's dance

[Instrumental]

I can hear them bones
Rattlin' in the closet
Snatch that key
Hide it in your pocket
Show your teeth
Oh, when you smile
'Cause you're sweatin' like a sinner on a preachers' lap

You can snap your fingers
Tap your toes
Bring your finger on a beautiful rose
Well every dawn
Will have it's day
Well, trust me son,
You gonna pay!

Now, you can buy your way down
To the playground
But you will see
You won't find what you're looking for

Unsatisfaction
Guaranteed
You can try make your heaven on a devil's cape
The heaven you find is the heaven you make

I'm not tryin' to teach ya'
I'm just tryin' to help ya'
Make life better for ya'
Shake it, never fake it,
Don't you do the devil's dance

I'm not tryin' to preach ya'
I'm just tryin' to reach ya'
Make life better for ya'
Shake it, nearly break it,
Don't you do the devil's dance!
Yeah!

[Instrumental]

(Don't hesitate) You've gotta make the offer
(Calculate) Read the value, make the proper
(Don't contemplate) State your case and love both ways when you cross that path

(Estimate) You gotta estimate the damage
(Elevate) You gotta climb the highest level
If you want to get to heaven on the devil's cape
The heaven you find is the heaven you make

I'm not tryin' to teach ya'
I'm just tryin' to help ya'
Make life better for ya'
Shake it, never fake it,
Don't you do the devil's dance

I'm not tryin' to preach ya'
I'm just tryin' to reach ya'
Make life better for ya'
Shake it, nearly break it,
Don't you do the devil's dance!
Alright.

[Instrumental]

I said I'm not buyin'
You're not tryin'
Make life better...
[2x]

I'm not tryin' to teach ya'
I'm just tryin' to help ya'
Make life better for ya'
Shake it, never fake it,
Don't you do the devil's dance!
