LYRICS

Go on, girl, take your chances
See how long you can go on from man to man
I can read the lines between your stolen glances

And I know it's time to fold this losing hand

'cause you're drawn to the flame

By the thrill and the shame

Of the cheating game they taught you how to play

But there's a price to that high lie you're living

And you've still got the devil to pay



Join your friends, while you got 'em

'cause you know you're getting older every day

You can't wait to let 'em take you to the bottom

And I'm getting tired of standing in your way

But when you hit the ground

Don't go lookin' around

For the pieces of the love you threw away

That's just a part of the high cost of leaving

And you've still got the devil to pay.



You've been flying so high for so long that you lied

To yourself now, most of all

Baby, all that you needed from me was the freedom to fall.



When your bright lights are gone

You'll be standing alone

And forsaken in the naked light of day

And you'll know that it's all over but the dying

And you've still got the devil to pay.
