Joe Gastwirt - Silver Tongue Devil lyrics

He was a silver tongue devil Standing there waiting for a ride Looking for a one way out of this town And you know i couldn't let him down So i asked him 'how far?' he said 'as far as you'll go,' I just couldn't say no It was a thursday in december or was it september The last thing i remember was the cloudless sky above He said he saw a good friend die I never thought to ask him why I could have sworn i heard him say he knew who did it We headed off into the dead air of the desert To a place i've never known He looked into the sun that shone above us Then he smiled and spoke how good it was Yet things change and they stay the same Home sweet home There was a stillness as the light set behind us The last thing i remember was the laughter in my ears Fearless yet fearful i stared into his eyes And he grabbed my hand, i started to fly Ageless, timeless, as i gave him control He said 'that's it my friend, i own your soul.'
