Sell Your Soul

LYRICS

You sold your body, just about gave it away To the first suitor, that promised he would stay And guess what happened he was gone before the dawn Some things you wish you knew, the moment you were born But you were ready, the second time around The price was higher, you stood your ground And so you came to learn, that everything has a cost The one who doesn't win, has always lost

You sold your car, it was a gift from your old man You didn't mean to, it wasn't in the plan A blue Camaro, nineteen sixty-nine With white go faster stripes, damn that car was fine And how you loved it, it reminded you of him Until that guy in L.A., opened up his wallet with a grin And so that memory of picking up the keys Disappeared faster than that car into the breeze

So sell your soul, sell your soul It's the last thing left to go Sell your soul, sell your soul Bidders welcome high and low Sell your soul, let it roll Dig yourself out of that hole Flash your cash, one mad dash It's just a soul what's the worst that could happen?

You sold your image, for just a thousand words And was it worth it? The lines are getting blurred And now you see yourself as someone else's pet And in the long run, what did you really get?

So sell your soul, sell your soul It's the last thing left to go Sell your soul, sell your soul Bidders welcome high and low Sell your soul, let it roll Dig yourself out of that hole Flash your cash, one mad dash It's just a soul what's the worst that could happen?

You sold it all, and now you want it back But you might find, the mirror can't uncrack

What's to be done? Live like you're on the run What's left to sell? Well since you're going to hell...

Sell your soul, sell your soul It's the last thing left to go Sell your soul, sell your soul Bidders welcome high and low Sell your soul, let it roll Dig yourself out of that hole Flash your cash, one mad dash It's just a soul what's the worst that could happen?
