lyrics

BAIT MY SOUL: I saw a beautiful girl floating down the street with “fuck off” lips and a face so sweet. She wore a knit hat that said “Satan.” I lazered in on her and our eyes did meet. The other angels can’t compete. Today is a good day for forsaking. I said "I could really use your help right now. I need a way out but I can’t see how." I’ll tear a page from Robert Johnson’s book: bait my soul on a fishing hook. Oh baby, would you please take care of me? Of course I’ll pay your spiritual fees for a Benz and clear complexion. Now I race the streets of Dis in a bucket seat. Dante failed to enjoy this treat: down here, everyone is naked. I know where I wanna spend eternity. All you saints look down on me. Well, I don’t need your persuasion. Thank you, but I’ll hang with dead rock stars and in bathroom stalls in Hell’s dive bars I’ll have me some spectral fornication.
