If I was the devil
I´d hang out in Blue Eye, Missouri
where the water and the mountain collide
I´d scare all the little children
rumble `round beneath the beds
tell `em all kind of stories
can´t help but get `em stuck in your head
then I´ll take out some of your livestock
blame it on the beast of the night
you know it was me
same as you know wrong and right

If I was the devil
I go and find your preacherman
rusty and white
I´d tell him that hell is on the way
scare him out of his skin
see the brimstone in his eyes
then a band of fat white deacons
would take him far away
that would be just fine with me
if I was the devil

if I was the devil
I´d gather up all your dreams
and drop `em to the bottom of a black lagoon
I´d steal away all your patience
steal away all your pride
leave you with nothing but uncontrollable fear
then I´d revel in my masterpeace
dance around with the night
down in Blue Eye, Missouri
where the water and the mountain collide
