Dark car, bright day
One stop, two lanes
Where are we goin'?
Whoa, the meter's blowin'
I see a black cloud, back seat
Tied up from my head to my feet
I don't know nothin'
And I think the chauffeur's bluffin'
He's got a great big smile and plate-round puppy eyes
And I can see Jesus if I try
But I think I got the devil hiding in the driver's seat
He's staring at me like I'm good enough to eat
He's got another thing coming if he thinks he's gonna feast on me
So I say, "What's it gonna be, Luci?"
Seize the devil when he's coming after you, huh?
Beat the devil when he's right in front of you and
Wildfire, blazed soul
Flaming hot, but frozen cold
I hear him snickering
And I notice embers spitting
With a loud roar and a sharp howl
He whispers, "Ain't no way you're gonna get out now"
But I ain't quitting
'Cause I'm smarter than he's thinking
He's got a great big smile and cheekbones cut like knives
But I know he's real ugly inside
'Cause I think I got the devil hiding in the driver's seat
He's staring at me like I'm good enough to eat
He's got another thing coming if he thinks he's gonna feast on me
So I say, "What's it gonna be, Luci?"
Seize the devil when he's coming after you, huh?
Beat the devil when he's right in front of you and
Cheat the devil when he hasn't got a clue, huh?
Eat the devil or there's nothing you can do
Think there's gonna be a showdown
Between my new hot friend and I (and I)
My pocket knife is cutting up the ropes now
Gotta try (gotta try), gotta try (gotta try)
Whoa, I think there's gonna be a showdown
Between my new hot friend and I
'Cause in the end, the ultimatum is that one of us has to die
Not I
So I gotta kill the devil hiding in the driver's seat
He's staring at me like I'm good enough to eat
He's got another thing coming if he thinks he's gonna feast on me, hey
So I say, "What's it gonna be, Luci?"
Seize the devil when he's coming after you, huh?
(You cannot kill me)
Beat the devil when he's right in front of you, and
(What's it gonna be, Luci?)
Cheat the devil when he hasn't got a clue, huh?
Eat the devil or there's nothing you can do
