I've met the devil Seeing him around Because we share the same town We both frequent this barber shop But his cut is better than the one I got We drive the same automobile Even my bad ideas he tries to steal Fridays he plays at a local bar Star way to heaven on guitar I couldn't hide from the truth Of that inside I'd come to believe There lives a devil in me I've met the devil in me I've met the devil in me That's all I see The devil in me! I've met the devil in me I've met the devil in me Always waiting for me The devil in me! I've met the devil Don't tell me(?) Waits for me deep inside my shadow My great escape back to the mirror(?) Who's the one that will appear?
When I'm approaching he turns away When I am talking he's always Got something, got something so profound to say But I can't confront my enemy I couldn't hide from the truth Of that inside I'd come to believe There lives a devil in me I've met the devil in me I've met the devil in me That's all I see The devil in me! I've met the devil in me I've met the devil in me Always waiting for me The devil in me! He's cold like me Feels alone And crawl like me I'm starting to see He gets what he wants But not what he needs (7x) I shouldn't die Oh Lord I shouldn't cry The devil has somehow Come to frame me The devil is actually me
