Lyrics


1. THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

All set, court's in session
This judge, got no compassion
Witness, show me your right hand
I swear, nothing but the truth now

I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh,oh
It was the act of a man possessed, now
The devil made me do it, oh, oh ,oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent

D.A.'s, got a mighty strong case
Lawman, saw the whole thing
Confess, yeah I stole that fur coat
Confess, yeah I stole a BMW
Confess, I was only trying, to keep my baby satisfied
Bullshit, that's the truth now
Bullshit, so help me God

I was alright till she came along
I was alright, then it all went wrong

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh,oh
It was an act of a man possessed, now
The devil made me do it , oh, oh, oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent

You should have seen her slide out of her negligee
Her skin was hot, touch intoxicating
And if you were me , you would have done the same
So spare me the gutter, save me from the ball and chain

The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh, oh
It was an act of a man possessed now
The devil made me do it, oh, oh, oh, oh
Your honor, I am innocent


2. SHADOW AVENUE

Shadow Avenue where the Jekyll and the vultures rule
Lingers in dark desire
No place for a girl like you
It takes a few arrangements
To get yourself our of this basement
And start feeding your love to the fire

Yeah, it's a cool wind your hair
Yeah, it is light years away from this here
Shadow Avenue (4x)
Dangerous
No sanctuary
Dangerous

This here street is gonna put its mark on you
I can see it baby, I ain't seen it before
The black light on your sexy tattoo
Somehow you're too smart to be fooled

Strange
You know, make no arrangements
Strange
To get yourself out of this basement
Strange
Stop feeding your love to the fire

Yeah, it's a cool wind your hair
Yeah, disappear from this here
Shadow, Shadow Avenue
Shadow Avenue
Shadow

Dangerous
Shadow, Shadow, Shadow Avenue
Shadow, Shadow, Shadow
Shadow Avenue
Shadow, Shadow Avenue
Shadow
