King Contrary Man Lyrics - The Cult

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I saw the devil, the contrary man 

I saw the devil down the long, long road 

He said to me, boy, he said to me, boy 

He said to me, boy I want your soul 

I said no, I said no, I said no 

You can't take my soul 

No, I said no, I said no, no 

You can't take my soul 

I took a while and thought about it 

Down at the crossroads temptin' fate 

I took a while and thought about it 

Down at the crossroads temptin' fate 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

You can take my soul 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

You can take my soul 

Take my soul, I want it all, yeah 

Play it, baby 

Yeah, many antics of a beat generation 

In their wild search for kicks 

Fighting, drinking, scorning convention 

Making wild love, making wild love 

I saw the devil, the contrary man 

I saw the devil down the long, long road 

He said to me, boy, he said to me, boy 

He said to me, boy, I want your soul 

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

I want it all 

I want it all 

Yeah
