I've walked the path of deprivation
Swam in rivers of repose
They say the devil's in the details
But I swear I saw him in layman's clothes
I wrote a letter
Asked the good lord where to go
I've been learning all my lessons
But I still don't fucking know
God help me tonight
With the sweet breath of escape
Could you tell it to me straight
There's not much more I can take
You met me a girl
Now there's nothing left to break
Youth was the only thing I had
My soul a heavy price to pay
I saw Satan down in SoCo
He asked me for directions
He was wearing skinny jeans
And a crystal round his neck for protection
It's raining heavy
I ain't got nowhere to go
In these crowded streets of Austin
I never felt so alone
God help me tonight
With the sweet breath of escape
Could you tell it to me straight
There's not much more I can take
You met me a girl
There's nothing left to break
Youth was the only thing I had
My soul a heavy price to pay
But I paid it
We didn't make it
It's so tragic
We never had it
But I sold out
You didn't hold out
Did you forget it
And will I ever regret it
God help me tonight
With the sweet breath of escape
Could you tell it to me straight
There's not much more I can take
You met me a girl
There's nothing left to break
Youth was the only thing I had
My soul a heavy price to pay
If I wanted your opinion
I'd ask you outright
But when I'm under your dominion
It's a cold cold cruel night
I saw angels in the nightclub
Grace was asked to leave
I asked them if there wasn't somewhere
Anywhere
Else they should be
God help me tonight
With the sweet breath of escape
Could you tell it to me straight
There's not much more I can take
You met me a girl
Now there's nothing left to break
Youth was the only thing I had
My soul a heavy price to pay
I started running
I could never win
But I was raised to be a good girl
So I invited him in
He was the Master
I was Margarita
I'm pretty quick but he was faster
And in the end I couldn't beat him
