Devil On My Shoulder Lyrics - Hits - Billy Talent

As I get closer, my dreams get farther 

I climb the 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've 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've 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, but 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've 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've 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 drives the nails into my coffin 

I've got the devil on my shoulder 

I've got the devil on my shoulder 

I've got the devil on my shoulder, over and over 

And I just can't sink any lower, lower and lower 

They've come to take me, take me over, over and over 

I've got the devil on my shoulder, over and over
