Drinking With The Devil Lyrics

Rainbow

I never felt like this before
I think Im gonna explode
Had so much I couldnt take no more
Im heading for an overload
Oh no here I go
I can see the end
Looked around and I heard the sound
Of have one more my friend
Drinking with the devil
Gonna raise some hell
Im just a rock and roll rebel
Got my soul to sell
Out all night till the sun comes up
You know Im never gonna learn
Raise my glass and fill my cup
Im playing with fire
And Im gonna get burned
Like before he walked through the door
A glass was in his hand
Sat me down and poured me one more
And said Im at you command
And I was drinking with the devil
Gonna raise some hell
Im just a rock and roll rebel
Got my world to sell
Out all night till the sun comes up
You know Im never gonna learn
Raise my glass and fill my cup
Im playing with fire
And Im gonna get burned
Like before he walked through the door
A glass was in his hand
Sat me down and poured me one more
And said Im at your command yes I am
Drinking with the devil
Gonna raise some hell
Im just a rock and roll rebel
Got my soul to sell
Drinking with the devil
You know I had my fill
Drinking with the devil
And he sticks me with the bill
