[Verse 1]

Coming down's the hardest thing

When the lights fall from the stage

There ain't no more songs to sing

Settle down to the barstool

Sink into this drink

The night it never lasts

Just as long as you may think

[Verse 2]

Wood and the wires

Songs of love and loss

Songs will take you higher

From the bottom of the barrel

To the angels up on high

Deep down in the mud

Consumed by Satan's fire

[Refrain]

And I bed that hell

It's just an empty stage

No water, no wine

No Satan down the line

Comin' on through

Give the Devil his due

[Verse 3]

Cold in the mind

Sadness we contain in

All our hearts burn in desire

Pluck the note and find the key

Building out the song

The crowd inside your head

They sway and sing along

[Refrain]

But I bed the hell

It just an empty stage

No water, no wine

No Satan down the line

Comin' on through

Give the Devil his due

[Verse 4]

Coming down's the hardest thing

When the lights fall from the stage

There ain't no more songs to sing

Settle down to the barstool

Sink into this drink

The night it never lasts

Just as long as you may think

[Refrain]

But I bed the hell

It just an empty stage

No water, no wine

No Satan down the line

Comin' on through

Give the Devil his due

[Outro]

No water, no wine

No Savior down the line

Comin' on through

Give the Devil his due
