Overkill - Devil lyrics

Devil By The Tail

Oh to be the fire, I am just a man

Oh to walk the wire, believing that I can

And reach on down you're throat to tear it out

Find out what the beating's all about

Justify my envy

Jealousy to fail

In perfect, deadly, harmony

Hold the devil by the tail

Devil, by the tail

Oh to slay the liar, he speaks for me a man

Oh to try conspire, believing that I can

And reach into your heart to pull it out

Find out what the beating's all about

Run your devil up the pole into my domain

The forgotten drool, like rabid dogs by any other name

They growl, they bark, they gnaw at me

I still hear them wail

Pray to hold what I hold

A devil by the tail

DEVIL, by the TAIL

Run your devil, out your soul by any other name

DEVIL, by the TAIL

Run your devil, take control before we go insane

DEVIL, DEVIL

Hey Mr. Lucifer, do you have my pay

I'm done with working here as of today

Hey Mr. Saviour do you ever seem to fail

And got what I got, a devil by the tail

By the tail...
