Eric Burdon

Devilside
Oral intro: You recall Big Red? He spent most of his life out on the road searching for that enigmatic devil side, but he could never forget what Muddy said. Glass is best. We was on that midnight train, driving to San Sebastian, Spain, when he took a dead bottle of Beaujolais, slipped his ring finger into its neck and broke off the remains. Then he looked at me with a gleam in his eye and said, "Eric, look out, here comes the devil side." The devil's on the loose Waving his brand new pitch fork He's still looking good He's been polishing his horn In order to bleed souls Even those who have never been born The devil's on the loose Riding in a brand new car With a suit and tie and a Japanese cellular He goes to church and prays But he knows that faith don't come in a jar Chorus: The devil's on the loose Stirring his cauldron of bliss And we taste the flavor Not knowing we're already a part of this At the doors of every house The dogs begin to bark SongtexteThe devil's on the loose And his eyes can see in the dark He's going to give double of everything You never asked for The devil's on the loose Excited to have a new start He preserves his tail And loans out his two big hearts One to keep you busy And the other to tear you apart Chorus The devil's on the loose And we're stuck in the middle of his game We're talking it over But nobody knows what they're saying So let's make love, baby I'll see you some old sunny day Aus Songtexte Mania
