Love me now while we're alive,
It's the best thing we can do;
We'll have no time upon cloud nine,
So, heaven on earth will have to do.
I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon,
And I do it all so well,
'Cause I made a deal with the devil,
And when I die, I'm going straight to hell.
Standing at the crossroads,
He offered wine, women, and song;
Riches, fame, and fortune
In my hands from that day on.
I was granted there and then,
A life of rock and roll;
And it seemed like such a bargain,
For just one eternal soul.
I know I'll curse this damned decision,
And I'll regret it till the moment I fall;
But I'll be making the most of a bad situation,
Until my number's called.
Love me now while we're alive,
It's the best thing we can do;
We'll have no time upon cloud nine,
Heaven on earth will have to do.
I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon,
And I do it all so well,
'Cause I made a deal with the devil,
And when I die, I'm going straight to hell.
Oh yeah, I'm going straight to hell.
There's times, I swear, I've come out on top,
In this ill-conceived contract;
And there's nights I say it's a small price to pay,
For the life and times I've had.
And I say, here's to the gents and ladies,
And all the foolish times we spent;
They cost me afterlife in paradise,
And they were worth every single cent.
So have a dance with the walking damned,
Before my time is done;
'Cause a deal is a deal and I don't expect
Fire and brimstone will be much fun.
Love me now while we're alive,
It's the best thing we can do;
We'll have no time upon cloud nine,
Heaven on earth will have to do.
I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon,
And I do it all so well,
'Cause I made a deal with the devil,
And when I die, I'm going straight to hell.
Oh yeah, I'm going straight to hell...
[I said, straight to hell... Go to hell...]
I have every expectation,
That my final prayer will go unheard;
And my veiled death-bed confession,
Will not move the mighty Lord.
And I'm sure that I'll be sorry,
When he slams St. Peter's gate;
But I'll dive right into damnation,
With a smile across my face.
If you love me now while we're alive,
It's the best thing we can do;
We'll have no time upon cloud nine,
Heaven on earth will have to do.
I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon,
And I do it all so well,
'Cause I made a deal with the devil,
And when I die, I'm going straight to hell.
I made a deal with the devil,
And when I die, I'm going straight to hell.
Oh yeah, I'm going straight to hell.
Oh yeah, I'm going straight to hell.
