A DANCE WITH THE DEVIL
I danced with the Devil at the age of seventeen,
And he danced with me to Hell & back and places in between,
Well the Devil was no friend of mine and often did me wrong,
Introduced me to the class A's and the Crack rock on the bong,
Introduced me to a twilight world where drugs were my affliction,
I took a chance, began the dancedance, straight into drug addiction,
I danced with the Devil and we danced into the night,
Where everything around me now was coloured Brown and White,
Now the Devil he was devious, to dupe me was his goal,
And he wasn't giving up the dance until he'd claimed my soul,
So if Satan asks you for a dance pray heed these words I tell,
Or you'll be dancing with the Devil, and he'll dance you straight to Hell.
And he danced with me to Hell & back and places in between,
Well the Devil was no friend of mine and often did me wrong,
Introduced me to the class A's and the Crack rock on the bong,
Introduced me to a twilight world where drugs were my affliction,

I danced with the Devil and we danced into the night,
Where everything around me now was coloured Brown and White,
Now the Devil he was devious, to dupe me was his goal,
And he wasn't giving up the dance until he'd claimed my soul,
So if Satan asks you for a dance pray heed these words I tell,
Or you'll be dancing with the Devil, and he'll dance you straight to Hell.

Author's Note
A dance with the Devil us my interpretation of my 3 decade addiction to drugs (nownow clean and in recovery) Quire bizarre actually as 12 months after I became an addict I was remanded in custody for 3 weeks and given the prison number GAO 666 I sh*t you not!
