Thieving From The House Of God Lyrics - 2004

[ Buy Thieving From The House Of God ]

I was just a boy when I learned how to play
Dreaming of stardom and wealth and champagne
I begged for advice, the skies all turned red
The devil appeared and here's what he said
The planets are shifting beyond my control
You ain't got the blue and you ain't got no soul
And you're not the one who can save rock n roll

Now that I'm old, I'm drunk and I'm broke
I sold my guitar for a gram of bad coke
I begged for forgiveness, the devil appeared
He sat down beside me and said in my ear
The planets are shifting beyond my control
I'll give you the blues in exchange for your soul
And you may be the the one who can save rock n roll

I had to sell my soul to get it right
I had to sell my soul to get me back into the light
And all the darkness running through my bad veins
And all the darkness in my head is gonna drive me insane
Satan took me underneath his wing
He taught me how to play guitar and then he taught me how to sing
So now I'm living like a superstar
I've got the drink, the drugs, the money, all the women and cars

I'm living the life yeah I'm out of control
I'm singing the blues but I ain't got not soul
And now I'm the one who can save rock n roll
I'm living the life yeah I'm out of control
I'm singing the blues but I ain't got not soul
And now I'm the one who can save rock n roll
