"Devil Girl" by Better Than Ezra

Here's a story-- 
I took a country ride one day 
When the rivers froze and the sun began to grey 
It was rainin' 
I lost control and hit a tree 
Well when I looked up 
Saw a house in front of me 
Well she let me in 
There was magic in her eyes 
I wish I could have seen through her disguise 
 
And you... 
Sharpen your horns 
Light up the night 
Twisting your tongue 
And it leaves you up in the air 
Sharpen your horns 
Light up the night 
Twisting your tongue 
And it leaves you up in the air 
 
Well she's wearing 
A green crystal round her neck 
Yes, it helps her with her concentration 
And she's chanting 
Her words are healing my cracked head 
But the meaning defies explanation 
 
And you... 
Sharpen your horns 
Light up the night 
Twisting your tongue 
And it leaves you up in the air 
Sharpen your horns 
Light up the night 
Twisting your tongue 
And it leaves you up in the air 
 
Maid of fire 
I gave my life to her 
Made a pact I had to keep 
I sold my soul to her 
 Tricked by a devil girl 
I sold my soul to her 
 
Time is runnin' down 
I could be crazy! 
Man, I sold my soul for seven years of fame 
But I'm lookin' back 
And I'm thinkin' maybe 
The mark you make 
The claim you stake 
These are the things remembered when you're gone 
 
Sharpen your horns 
Light up the night 
Twisting your tongue 
And it leaves you up in the air
