Devil Delight

ALBUM ยท Magazine (1978)



Come on down from the top of the mountain, flowing

Doin' the slow slide into town, keep on going

Darkness dancers get down, heavily hoping

Stroking the stone soul, loving, drinking and doping



Like a blind moth looking for color in the lights

Dance in the spotlight, I feel alright

Just my devil, my devil delight



I've seen those midnight ladies just for the moment's using

She keep on playing, never know whether she's losing it

He got those sexy green eyes, clicking the trigger, no warning

It's all gonna come rolling back in the morning



You might feel me burning all night

Like a dirty demon daughter, don't put up no fight

I dance in the spotlight, I'm alright

It's just my devil, my devil delight



Lover and fool, glass and jewel, the potion

Comedy, tragedy, making the game, emotion

On your toes, do the gambling roll for your fortune

We fall for love from up above to the ocean
