There’s a boy on his knees
At the foot of his bed
There’s a curious angel watching,
Wondering what's in his head
There’s a god on a cloud
Dropping ashes in space
Sending stories of snakes and apples,
Instead of meeting face to face
Time had its way
And now I’m ravaged to the bone
Ah, but every devil dies alone
Charlie's Angel is gone
And the quarterback's dead
But you're mourning the carnival freak
Who brought the kids to his bed
What is taken was given
And all its value dissolved
I sure wouldn't call this livin’
You could say this monkey has evolved
Time had its way
And now I’m ravaged to the bone
Ah, but every devil dies alone
That’ll teach you a lesson
To never give up your own
Play the hand you were given
And leave the devil alone
Or grab a bottle of cognac
And play your guitar all day
Alone
She had no sin
So she cast the first stone
Her new lover joined in
And then on and on and on
And then the world just took me down
Until time had its way
And now I’m ravaged to the bone
Ah, but every devil dies
Is born to die
You’re gonna die
We’re all gonna die
Alone
