Double-cross the devil By HF/Sophia’s Lover I double-crossed the devil And wrote it in a song It can’t be such a bad thing To do the devil wrong I promised that old devil Said I promise that I will But I planned to double cross him The day I made the deal I heard Old Red the devil Had an eye for things that shine If you need to rip a fellow Well, that’s the easy kind I didn’t need the shiny stuff If I just had my girl He could have the empty fluff And all that’s in the world As for the devil running things Somewhere down in hell In my heart that story rings Like one made up as well The magic little Goddess Had whispered in my ear So I could haggle with the devil Free of mortal fear So I sat down with the devil We shared a little smoke He ask me a riddle And I told him a joke Yes, I sat there with the devil And we both begin to drank When he loosened just a bit I said, “what do you think If I can have that little Goddess That gorgeous little girl I’ll give you ten times your due And all that’s in the world A fool thought the devil He loves a fading thing A lovely little flower That popped up in the rain All that’s in the world That’s already mine As to, ten times my due I get that all the time So pay me when you’re dead My heart begin to swell So I promised bad Old Red A thousand years in hell A thousand years in hell That’s not so very long I mean once you consider The things that I’ve done wrong So I got my little goddess My heart burst into flame A shining bright eyed angel She has a secret name Endless days of fun and love Deep blue skies, bright sun above In love again with every glance Danced again at every chance I gathered for her flowers And to her I didn’t lie We danced the days away Then time it come to die Heedless, those in love To old time passing by And anytime too soon The time it comes to die But the scared little goddess In a brilliant burst of light Ascended up a stairway There hidden by the night Just between the clouds I could see here shining face “Don’t worry bout the devil I’m saving you a place” Immortal in the heavens Immortal in my heart From my sacred little Goddess I will never ever part I double crossed the devil I lied to him that day Got my little goddess Then I got away Yes, I double crossed the devil Wrote it in a song It can’t be such a bad thing To do the devil wrong Copyright: Pretty Words / by Sophia’s lover. 2001
