To be the fire, I am just a man
To walk the wire, believing that I can
Reach on down your throat
To tear it out
Find out what the inside's all about
Justify my envy
Jealousy to fail
In perfect, deadly harmony
Hold the Devil by the tail
Devil by the tail
To slay the liar
He speaks for me, a man
To try, conspire
Believing that I can
Reach into your heart and pull it out
Find out what the beating's all about
Justify my envy
Jealousy to fail
In perfect, deadly harmony
Hold Devil by the tail
Devil by the tail
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, Devil, Devil
Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil
Hey, mister Lucifer
Do you have my pay
I'm done with working here as of today
Hey, mister Saviour
Do you ever seem to fail
You got what I got
Devil by the tail
Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil
Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil
Devil, Devil by the tail
Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil by the tail
Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil by the tail
Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil by the tail
Devil, Devil by the tail, Devil, Devil
Devil, Devil by the tail, Devil, Devil
Devil, Devil by the tail, Devil, Devil
Devil, Devil by the tail
