Текст песни Billy Tallent - Devil On My Shoulder

As I get closer,
My dreams get farther
I climb that ladder,
But you kick it over
Thirsty for water,
You give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine,
It just makes me sicker

I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower
(lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer
(closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)

Follow the rainbow,
My lucky omen
There ain't no pot of gold,
Just copper tokens
I found the key to life,
The lock was broken
All my accomplishments
Are best left unspoken

I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower
(lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer
(closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)

My horror story is nearly over
I said I'm sorry,
But I was sober
I'd beg for mercy
From my infernal friend
The one that drops the nails
Into my coffin

I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder

I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower
(lower and lower)
They come to take me, take me over
(closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)

Дьявол у меня за плечом

По мере того, как я приближаюсь,
Мои мечты отдаляются.
Я карабкаюсь по лестнице,
Но вы опрокидываете её.
Я жажду воды,
А вы даете мне уксус.
Когда я пью ваши таблетки,
Мне от них только хуже...

Я выкопал такую глубокую яму,
Я скоро утону в своих ошибках.
Я не могу даже продать свою душу,
Потому что она ни черта не стоит

У меня за плечом - дьявол...
(снова и снова),
Я утонул - глубже некуда...
(глубже и глубже),
Свора гончих из ада все ближе...
(ближе и ближе),
У меня за плечом - дьявол...
(снова и снова)

Следую за радугой -
Моим счастливым знаком.
Нет ни одного горшка золота -
Только медные жетоны.
Я нашел ключ к жизни,
А замок был сломан,
О моих достижениях
Лучше вообще не говорить....

Я выкопал такую глубокую яму,
Я скоро утону в своих ошибках.
Я не могу даже продать свою душу,
Потому что она ни черта не стоит

У меня за плечом - дьявол...
(снова и снова),
Я утонул - глубже некуда...
(глубже и глубже),
Свора гончих из ада все ближе...
(ближе и ближе),
У меня за плечом - дьявол...
(снова и снова)

Моя жуткая история почти закончена,
Я сказал, что сожалею,
Но просто был тогда трезв.
Я буду просить пощады
У моего друга из ада,
Который забивает гвозди
В мой гроб...

У меня за плечом - дьявол...
У меня за плечом - дьявол...

У меня за плечом - дьявол...
(снова и снова),
Я утонул - глубже некуда...
(глубже и глубже),
Свора гончих из ада все ближе...
(ближе и ближе),
У меня за плечом - дьявол...
(снова и снова)

As I get closer,
My dreams get farther

But you kick it over
Thirsty for water,
You give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine,
It just makes me sicker

I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can not even sell my soul
'Cause it is not worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
And I just can not sink any lower
(lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer
(closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder

Just copper tokens
I found the key to life,
The lock was broken
All my accomplishments

But I was sober
I'd beg for mercy

The one that drops the nails
Into my coffin

I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder

I got the devil on my shoulder

And I just can not sink any lower
(lower and lower)
They come to take me, take me over
(closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)

Devil behind my shoulder

As soon as I approach,
My dreams drifting.
I climb the stairs,
But you overturns it.
I thirst for water,
And you give me vinegar.
When I drink your pills,
I have only got worse from ...

I dug a deep hole,
I'll drown in my mistakes.
I can not even sell my soul,
Because it is not worth a damn

At my shoulder - the devil ...
(again and again),
I drowned - deeper than ever ...
(deeper and deeper)
Hounds of hell are getting closer ...
(closer and closer),
At my shoulder - the devil ...
(again and again)

I follow the rainbow -
My happy sign.
There is no pot of gold -
Only copper tokens.
I found the key to life,
A lock was broken,
About my achievements
It is better not to talk ....

I dug a deep hole,
I'll drown in my mistakes.
I can not even sell my soul,
Because it is not worth a damn

At my shoulder - the devil ...
(again and again),
I drowned - deeper than ever ...
(deeper and deeper)
Hounds of hell are getting closer ...
(closer and closer),
At my shoulder - the devil ...
(again and again)

My terrible story is almost over,
I said I was sorry,
But just then I was sober.
I will ask for mercy
A friend of mine from hell,
Who hammered nails
In my coffin ...

At my shoulder - the devil ...
At my shoulder - the devil ...

At my shoulder - the devil ...
(again and again),
I drowned - deeper than ever ...
(deeper and deeper)
Hounds of hell are getting closer ...
(closer and closer),
At my shoulder - the devil ...
(again and again)
