paroles de chanson Before The Devil Knows You're Dead - Jimmy Barnes

I know I ain't been perfect
I made you feel so bad
When I talked instead of listening
I knew that drove you mad

But I know it wasn't only me
There's a chance that we were cursed
It seemed the more that we're together
We only made things worse

And so I'm writing you this letter
And I pray that it gets read
Before your soul goes up to heaven, hey

And the Devil knows you're dead, you got to justify your sins
(The Devil knows you're dead) you're gonna have to make amends
(The Devil knows you're dead) you have to face up to the truth
(The Devil knows you're dead) before this life it cuts you loose
And the Devil knows you're dead

On the day that I first met you
I knew it in my heart
It's funny how a feeling
Can rip your world apart

I thought an arrow came from Heaven
I didn't hear that thunder roar
So I just stood there waiting
And that lightning struck once more

And so there's a lot I got to think about
When I'm lying in my bed
Before my soul goes up to heaven, hey

And the Devil knows I'm dead, there might be time I can confess
(The Devil knows you're dead) this life I'm leaving ain't that blessed
(The Devil knows you're dead) it's never too late for a change
(The Devil knows you're dead) it's time I took some of the blame
Before the Devil knows you're dead

When he comes around
It's far, far too late
To get down on your knees and learn to pray

So when we think we got it all worked out
But our number's up instead
I hope our souls go up to heaven

Before the Devil knows you're dead, we still got things to talk about
(The Devil knows you're dead) there's not much time to work it out
(The Devil knows you're dead) it's time to let go of the past
(The Devil knows you're dead) 'cause every breath could be our last
And the Devil knows we're dead

(The Devil knows you're dead) you've got to justify your sins
(The Devil knows you're dead) you're gonna have to make amends
(The Devil knows you're dead) you have to face up to the truth
(The Devil knows you're dead) before this life it cuts you loose
And the Devil knows you're dead
