When I first met the devil, she was dancing at a club in New Orleans ♪ She was begging with her body for a dollar, half collapsed to her knees
Her wicked eyes were hollow, her silver tongue glistened when she'd speak
Her words from a language that I'd heard in my anguishing dreams Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in?
For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin How I longed for the hour that I'd get to see my lover's face again The men with their money, they were finding it funny, I believe They could see it in my eyes, all I'd wanted on that night was to leave
Now, Lord, can you save me from this place that I'm in? For the floors, they're all painted an awful shade of sin How I longed for the hour that I'd get to see my lover's face again I swear I'll raise her higher, hold her tighter than I ever once did
