Stairway to heaven
Is a Saturday night
Juke Joint in the attic
Where they do the music right
Every natural temptation
Is at the bar or on the floor
Shouting out in rhythm
Give me more! Give me more!
Now bless my soul
You gotta understand
I work hard all week
To be a God-fearing man
Sweet salvation
I just found the better way
So don't tell me Sunday morning
Will be the time to pay
You know you in trouble
When the devil is your best friend
You know you in trouble
When the devil is your best friend
Hard to leave the party
When the drinks
Are all on him
I am a born again
Who-do-the-voodoo child
Hypnotized, spiritualized
By Primal and The Wild
I am witness to no evil
Inside this House of Blues
Amongst the trials and tribulations
Of the saints who paid their dues
I see all good people
Come to spread their wings
Safe in sanctuary
In the temple of the Kings
So if Satan is a presence
And this dream be just a spell
I hope they got a House of Blues
When I go to hell
You know you in trouble
When the devil is your best friend
You know you in trouble
When the devil is your best friend
Hard to leave the party
When the drinks
Are all on him
Don't preach the Bible thump
Woe is Judgment day
Even Moses had his fun
It's just another way to pray
Fire & Brimstone
Is the drink that's in my hand
And I will walk on water
When I get to ten
I don't feel sin
I don't feel anything
'cept this halo in my head
And the need to dance and sing
Lawd do believe
Yes I do believe
Here comes the promise land
'cause an angel's calling me
You know you in trouble
When the devil is your best friend
You know you in trouble
When the devil is your best friend
Hard to leave the party
When the drinks
Are all on him
Its eternity
Till my spirit is free
When the drinks
Are all on him
