There's a place in my house that I ignore I swear, I never go through the door Right behind, there is a staircase down Below the devil waits in a beautiful gown There's a devil downstairs The source of all my nightmares There is a devil down below Too dangerous, too long ago I used to be down there a few years ago Attracted by a shimmer, more a warm glow Like a moth I flew into the light Day by day – I know it wasn't right There's a devil downstairs The source of all my nightmares There is a devil down below Too dangerous, too long ago But then one day it was time for me to quit Yeah I sometimes regret – just a little bit I closed the door and I locked it forever The devil and I should not be together There's a devil downstairs There's a devil The source of all my nightmares Nightmares There's a devil down below Down below Too dangerous, too long ago There's a devil downstairs The source of all my nightmares There is a devil down below Too dangerous, too long ago
