Lyrics
Don't touch that bottle
If you don't understand
When you meet the Devil
You don't shake his hand
He'll grab you tight
An' 'e won't let go
My friend that's something
I oughtta' know
The Devil and the Bottle
Are not your friend
All they'll do is
Bring your life to an end.
The Devil and Bottle
Playin' their games,
Twisted and turned around
You won't be the same.
Lyin' comes easy
When you've lost all control.
It'll eat through your memory
Swallow you whole
Circlin' and drownin'
You feel all alone
Reach for that bottle
And sink like a stone.
Chorus
Break
I know this person
You have become
Not long ago,
I was the one
Who are you really?
And what have you done?
To slip from this life
Like the mid-winter sun.
I'd tell you in person
I'd give you a call
But down here in Hell
There's no phones at all.
Chorus
