[Verse 1]
Dry up on the hillside
Muddy in the audience below
A thousand lies through amplifiers
How you wade through that, I'll never know
Snakes are sheddin' their skin
Screamin' and a-hollerin' the news
Poison on the main stage
Turn it up and louder than the truth
[Chorus]
I'd rather sleep than to stay awake
I try to speak, but I just turn gray
Reserve my seat for the devil's day
I said, reserve my seat for the devil's day, hey
[Verse 2]
Hollow at the center
Nothing in, nothing at the core
Stole the rugs and the chinas
He was walking on, walking out the door
[Chorus]
I'd rather sleep than to stay awake
I try to speak, but I just turn gray
Reserve my seat for the devil's day
I said, reserve my seat for the devil's day, hey
