XV. The Devil

I wanna wrap my life up
Throw it in a trash can like smoked out bud
Stomp down, ash flies all over the place
Falls on the floor like a sad smiling face
But I don't even smoke
What makes me think I live?

Same foul-smelling shit every day
Drags me to the place of rot and decay
I don't wanna stand up and walk my way
Cause death is bitter but that's OK

I am a skeleton grooving to the wicked rhythm
Enchanted pile of dreams wiggling with no reason or rhyme
I'm just a broken code, paralyzed algorithm
Agony of time

And when you think it's over
Just take a closer look and baby you will see

You will dance with the devil
To the moon in the sky
You will dance with the devil
Rising low, falling high
She's a cold-blooded bitch and your true romance
Don't fight, you can't win, better give her a chance
You'll see life is good when you don't give a damn
And you dance with the devil
Like the lion and lamb

Run while you can but pain never ends
Life's a closed-loop circuit with harmful trends
Don't swear your gut out and tell your friends
You've all been fucked up with no amends

We humans pay the price hoping for a better future
Lost in the realm of pain hundred light-years from our home
To win the ticket back we tear up the rough-sewn sutures
To jazz of broken bones

In the universal anatomical theater
Better known as the blue planet Earth
Stop acting like you thought that the trip would be sweeter
When you were given birth

But we can face the sunrise
Just bite the bullet, close your eyes and let it be

Cause you will dance with the devil
Rising low falling high
You will dance with the devil
Thousand times till you die
He's the one who will laugh when you break down and cry
So give in! You will love it cause oh so did I
Wait till he cracks your spine just to mend it again
And you dance with the devil
In the decadent Zen

And you dance with the devil
And the Buddha is devil
And you hate to love the devil
Cause you are your little devil
And she is her little devil
And he is his little devil
And we are our little devils
And we dance with the devil in the decadent Zen
