Devil on My Shoulder - Billy Talent

As I get closer, my dreams get farther

I climb that ladder, but you kick it over

Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar

When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker

I dug a hole so deep

I’m gonna drown in my mistakes

Can’t even sell my soul

‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)

And I just can’t sink any lower (Lower and lower)

The hounds of hell are getting closer (Closer and closer)

I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)

Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen

There ain’t no pot of gold, just copper tokens

I found the key to life, the lock was broken

All my accomplishments are best left unspoken

I dug a hole so deep

I’m gonna drown in my mistakes

Can’t even sell my soul

‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)

And I just can’t sink any lower (Lower and lower)

The hounds of hell are getting closer (Closer and closer)

I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)

My horror story is nearly over

I said I’m sorry, but I was sober

I beg for mercy from my infernal friend

The one that drops the nails into my coffin

I got the devil on my shoulder.

I got the devil on my shoulder.

I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)

And I just can’t sink any lower (Lower and lower)

They got to take me take me over (Closer and closer)

I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)
