Shake Hands With The Devil

It's sad to see we may never be the way we were before
We don't believe in the magic of the music anymore
And everything's older now and colder and grey
Oh, darlin' i believe there's got to be a better way.

It seems to me we've forgotten how to let our feelings show
We seem to be so much farther from the dreams we used to know
And too many more, my friend, are dying today
Oh darlin' i believe there's got to be a better way.

Listen to the fallen angels learning how to spread their wings.
How will they make it all alone?
Look into the children's laughter
Tell me what tomorrow brings for those so far away from home.

And i can say i'm not sorry for the things we tried to be
But i'm afraid what we're heading toward is up to you and me
'cause we got a choice; the future is ours you see
We got a chance to change today
Oh, darlin' don't you believe there's got to be a better way

'cause we got a choice; the furture is ours you see.
We got a chance to change it today.
Oh i believe together there can be a better way
Oh if we believe together we can build a better way.

We're just goin' through the motions
Of the parts we've learned to play
Never quite together like before
But somehow darlin' something good
Got lost along the way
And our song ain't nothing
Special anymore

Let's try it one more time
With feeling darlin', take it from the top
Let me feel those tears a fallin' babe
I don't want to miss a single drop
Darlin' make believe your makin'
Me believe each word you say
Try it once more with feeling
And we'll call it a day


Ah you're reachin' out to touch me
Darlin' just the way you used to do
An you're lookin' everywhere but
In my eyes
Well that's an oldy but it's a goody babe
But them words ain't ringin' true
And you don't seem very sure of your life

So try it one more time with feeling
Darlin' take it from the top
This one is the big one baby so give
It everything you got
Darlin' make believe your makin' me
Believe each word you say
Let's try it once more with feeling
And we'll call it a day

Look into water, see the barracuda
Patient as the devil
Hanging still
Like a shadow in the water
Pretty barracuda,
Dagger of the devil
Waiting to kill

Little girl beware, of killer barracuda
He rules these waters like a king
He'll cut your heart out slicker than a dagger
Not 'cause he's hungry 'cause he's mean

You can see the shark now
Glidin' through the water
Ugly as death.
Eats anything
But the pretty barracuda, don't touch no leavins
Takin' what he wants to
'cause he's king
And you can't scare him or entice him
He won't move for the devil, 'til his own time
Then quicker than heartbeat
He'll turn you away girl just to
See you fall, and leave you dyin'

Little girl beware of the killer barracuda
He rules these waters like a king
He'll cut your heart out slicker than a dagger
Not 'cause he's hungry
'cause he's mean

I know some people say that i'm the devil in disguise,
I won't try to tell you that i ain't.
I don't like believing that i'm evil in your eyes,
But i ain't make believing i'm a saint,
'cause i'll do anything i can to win you from the world,
It's something that my senses can't control.
And if that's sin then shake hands with the devil, little girl,
I want your body and your soul.

Chorus:
Shake hands with the devil, don't be frightened, i won't hurt you.
I don't want your silver or your gold.
I'm not after anything that you don't want to give me,
I just want your body and your soul.

Other men can offer something peaceful and secure,
I can't offer anything but me.
I can take you higher than you've ever been before
And show you things you never dared to see.
And hand in hand together we can laugh the world away,
I'll keep you from the hunger and the cold.
So let your love come easy, you don't need to be afraid,
I just want your body and your soul.

Chorus:
Shake hands with the devil ...
