            G5                      
Though I've walked down a crooked path
           E5
That don't mean that it wasn't cursed
          G5
My feeble heart was filled with wrath
          E5
My poison mind with thoughts perverse
        D5                     C5 
And the devil is living in my basement
           D5                        C5
I'm trying hard to hide him from my wife
      D5                              C5
And I know someday I'm gonna have to face him
        D5                              C5
But for now I keep my secrets with the night
G5     D5     C5     D5

     G5
As I breeze through this windy city
    E5
The devil he now rides upon my back
And all the boys here look mighty pretty
I need a fix and lord, I need it fast
         D5                      C5
I let my houseguests rest in my crawlspace
Don't let anyone tell you that I'm a bad host
I take cover behind my white facepaint
While I battle my bitter father's ghost

       G5
And by now the hounds have surely caught my scent
          E5
In just a short time I'm no longer free
Oh lord you know I would repent
But the devil he now speaks for me
        D5                    C5
And the icy needle kisses my veins
As I kiss my dear sister goodbye
Now as I descend into the final flames
It's my turn to die
