Devil’s Pay Lyrics by Tea Leaf Green

Rock ‘N’ Roll Band

2006

The whorehouse is burning
Like the devil's come to claim it
Get them girls out quickly
Before the devil gets his payment
Don't let the devil get his payment...
Don't let the devil get his pay

They tried all night
To put that fire out
Using themselves
Like they never done it before
Like they never done it before...
Like they never done before

And by the strike of four
The house had been consumed
The burnt bodies they found
Died clutching fake jewels
Died clutching fake jewels...
Died clutching fake jewels

The sailors hauled up trailers
Beside them smoking ashes
Donated some blankets
And fixed up a box-spring mattress
Fixed up a box-spring mattress...
Fixed up a box-spring mattress

And like a phoenix rising
There was one girl surviving
They put her in the trailer
And kept her business running
They kept her business running...
Kept her business running
