Straight To Hell Lyrics - Fortune's Favour - Great Big Sea

Love me now while we're alive 

It's the best thing we can do 

We'll have no time upon Cloud Nine 

So Heaven on Earth will have to do 

I can sing like a bird 

And dance like a demon 

And I do it all so well 

'Cause I made a deal with the Devil 

And when I die 

I'm going Straight to Hell 

Standing at the Crossroads 

He offered wine women and song 

Riches, Fame and Fortune 

In my hands from that day on 

I was granted there and then 

A life of Rock and Roll 

And it seemed like such a bargain 

For just one eternal soul 

I know I'll curse this damned decision 

And I'll regret it 'till the moment I fall 

But I'll be making the most 

of a bad situation 

Till my number is called 

Love me now while we're alive 

It's the best thing we can do 

We'll have no time upon Cloud Nine 

So Heaven on Earth will have to do 

I can sing like a bird 

And dance like a demon 

And I do it all so well 

'Cause I made a deal with the Devil 

And when I die 

I'm going Straight to Hell 

Oh Yeah 

I'm going Straight to Hell 

Sometimes I swear I've come out on top 

In this ill conceived contract 

There's nights I say 

it's a small price to pay 

For the life and times I've had 

I think "Here's to the Gents and Ladies 

And the foolish times we spent 

They cost me Afterlife in Paradise 

And they were worth every single cent" 

So have a dance 

with the walking damned 

Before my time is done 

'Cuz a deal is a deal and I really doubt 

Fire and Brimstone will be much fun 

Love me now while we're alive 

It's the best thing we can do 

We'll have no time upon Cloud Nine 

So Heaven on Earth will have to do 

I can sing like a bird 

And dance like a demon 

And I do it all so well 

'Cause I made a deal with the Devil 

And when I die 

I'm going Straight to Hell 

I said straight to hell 

Go to hell! 

[bridge] 

I have every expectation 

That my final prayers will go unheard 

And my veiled death bed confession 

Will not move the Mighty Lord 

I'm sure that I'll be sorry 

When he slams St. Peter's Gate 

But I'll dive right into damnation 

With a smile across my face 

Love me now while we're alive 

It's the best thing we can do 

We'll have no time upon Cloud Nine 

So Heaven on Earth will have to do 

I can sing like a bird 

And dance like a demon 

And I do it all so well 

'Cause I made a deal with the Devil 

And when I die 

I'm going Straight to Hell 

I made a deal with the Devil and when I die 

I'm going straight to Hell 

Oh Yeah, 

I'm going straight to Hell 

Oh Yeah, 

I'm going straight to Hell 

Oh Yeah, 

I'm going straight to Hell
