Lyrics Paddy and the Rats

Paddy and the Rats

Keep The Devil Down In The Hole

Break on through the night

In my heart I buried the light

Cry for you to save me

From the man that I’ve become

And after all the bridges’re burned

I feel there’s still nothing I’ve learned

Only guilt is left here

And again I’m on the run

And I want to get old now

So I try to keep the devil

down in the hole

And I take back my soul now

And I want it right now

I feel it burnin’ in my veins

But I pour again

Need someone to pull on the reins

In the pouring rain

You want my drinking problems solved

But now I can’t

Only my worried thoughts revolve

Just let me drinking

My desires are the chiefs

I don’t have the nerve

to chain these beasts

These monsters need to be fed up

Or they demand my soul

My disciples are the slaves

I feel they never were that brave

It’s all marching to the chaos

I don’t know who’ll win this war

And I want to get old now

So I try to keep the devil

down in the hole

And I take back my soul now

And I want it right now

I feel it burnin’ in my veins

But I pour again

Need someone to pull on the reins

In the pouring rain

You want my drinking problems solved

But now I can’t

Only my worried thoughts revolve

Just let me drinking

Let me drink

Let me drink

Let me drink

And I want to get old now

So I try to keep the devil

down in the hole

And I take back my soul now

And I want it right now

I feel it burnin’ in my veins

But I pour again

Need someone to pull on the reins

In the pouring rain

You want my drinking problems solved

But now I can’t

Only my worried thoughts revolve

Just let me drinking
