I made a deal with God

I tried to cheat fate

Was hoping He got lost or just forgot

But now He's back to get paid



Traded all of my angels

For the devil I knew

I guess I bit off

More than I could chew



But I swallowed it whole

It tasted like pink champagne

Water into wine tricks them every time

And it sure feels good

When everyone knows me by name

And after that goes I'll just cushion the blow

If it's all the same



You stopped it cold

The very air that I breathe

I got one more shot

But I feel about as lucky as the number 13



And it's hard to get up

From this bed that I made

The taste of my design

Was more than I could take



And I swallowed it whole

It tasted like pink champagne

Water into wine tricks them every time

And it sure feels good

When everyone knows me by name

And after that goes I'll just cushion the blow

If it's all the same



I swallowed it whole

It tasted like pink champagne

Water into wine tricks them every time

And it sure feels good

When everyone knows me by name

And after that goes I'll just cushion the blow

If it's all the same



And I swallowed it whole

(And I swallowed it whole)
