What Would the Devil Do

He left a red card
On my dashboard seat
Said: Take the long way
Come and walk with me

One hand on the wheel
One hand on the lie
He knows my weak spots
He knows where I hide

He tastes like trouble
He smells like rain
He calls my name
Like it ain't a chain

And I know that grin
I know that bite
When the room goes thin
And the truth goes white

What would the devil do?
(What would the devil do?)
He'd call me closer
Then split me in two

What would the devil do?
(What would the devil do?)
He'd sell me a dream
And make it come true

He put gold on the dark
Put silk on the sting
Wrapped a bad decision
In a diamond ring

I saw my own face
In the polished glass
Looked a little older
Then I looked right past

Every door he opens
Ends up in a bruise
Every sweet excuse
Is a pair of old shoes

And I know that grin
I know that bite
When the room goes thin
And the truth goes white

What would the devil do?
(What would the devil do?)
He'd call me closer
Then split me in two

What would the devil do?
(What would the devil do?)
He'd sell me a dream
And make it come true

So I lock my hands
When he shakes my name
I don't need his crown
Or his little game

Let the red card burn
Let the whole thing fade
I can feel the pull
But I won't get played

What would the devil do?
(What would the devil do?)
He'd call me closer
Then split me in two

What would the devil do?
(What would the devil do?)
He'd sell me a dream
And make it come true

What would the devil do?
(What would the devil do?)
I spit out the apple
I shut the door too
