Lyrics

Satan rejected my soul He knows my kind He won't be dragged down He's seen my face around He knows Heaven doesn't seem to be my home So I must find somewhere else to go I must find somewhere else to go

So take it, please It's free You'll never see You'll never see All the fun in life it's cost me

Satan rejected my soul As low as he goes He never quite goes this low He's seen my face around He knows Heaven doesn't seem to be my home So I must find somewhere else to go I must find somewhere else to go

So take it, please It's really sly Come on, come on Come on, come on, come on

Take it, please It's really sly Come on, come on Come on, come on, come on

Call me in Haul me in Call me in Come on, come on Come on, come on, come on

Pull me in Pull me in Call me in Haul me in Pull me in Come on, come on Come on, come on La la lala la la
