Lyrics If I Was The Devil

If I was the devil
I'd hang out in Blue Eye, Missouri
where the water and the mountain collide
I'd scare all the little children
rumble 'round beneath the beds
tell 'em all kind of stories
can't help but get 'em stuck in your head
then I'll take out some of your livestock
blame it on the beast of the night
you know it was me
same as you know wrong and right

If I was the devil
I go and find your preacherman
rusty and white
I'd tell him that hell is on the way
scare him out of his skin
see the brimstone in his eyes
then a band of fat white deacons
would take him far away
that would be just fine with me
if I was the devil

if I was the devil
I'd gather up all your dreams
and drop 'em to the bottom of a black lagoon
I'd steal away all your patience
steal away all your pride
leave you with nothing but uncontrollable fear
then I'd revel in my masterpeace
dance around with the night
down in Blue Eye, Missouri
where the water and the mountain collide
