My mother was a witch My father the moon I was only five When I met my doom I had no future I had no past Just living for the moment I am the first and I'm the last I cannot buy redemption Riding down this perdition road I have paved my way to hell Better the devil I know I made an offer to the man Playing guitar by the road I fell for the blues he played And Robert Johnson was his name Oh preacher tell me please If there's any hope for me To turn profound pain Into burning divine flame I cannot buy redemption Riding down this perdition road I have paved my way to hell Better the devil I know Better the devil I know Better the devil I know Better the devil I know Better the devil I know
