Go on girl

take your chances

See how long

you can go on

from man to man

I can read the lines

between your stolen glances

And I know it's time

to fold this loosing hand

'Cause you're drawn

to the flame

by the thrill and the shame

Of the cheatin' game

they taught you how to play

You've got nothing

to lose but your soul girl

And you've only

the devil to pay

You've been flying so high

you don't know

That you're blind

to the writin' on the wall

But some day

you'll look down

And you'll find

you've got no place to fall

When the bright lights're gone

you'll be standing alone

Forsaken in the naked

light of day

Then you'll know

that it's all over

but the dying

And you've still

got the devil to pay

Join your friends

while you got 'em

'Cause you know

they're gettin' fewer every day

You can't wait to let them

take you to the bottom

And I'm gettin' tired of

standin' in your way

But when you hit the ground

don't come looking around

For the pieces of the love

you threw away

That's the price of

the high life you're livin'

And you still

got the devil to pay

You've been flying so high

you don't know

That you're blind

to the writin' on the wall

But some day

you'll look down

And you'll find

you've got no place to fall

When the bright lights're gone

you'll be standing alone

Forsaken in the naked

light of day

Then you'll know

that it's all over but the dying

And you've still

got the devil to pay
