As I get closer, my dreams get farther
I climb that 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

[Refrain:]
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, 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 drops 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 (closer and closer)
I´ve got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
