[Verse 1]

Soon he'll be fast asleep

And I'll slip towards the trap door

And later you'll find me grappling

Scraped and torn on the sidewalk

[Chorus]

And reaching for the devil's cup

But he's never gonna give it up

[Verse 2]

I walk into the room with you

Biding lights sideways

But soon the contrast will be gone

And my comfort will lie in the graze

[Chorus]

I'll be sipping from the devil's cup

But he'll never really give it up

I'll be sipping from the devil's cup

But he'll never really give it up

[Bridge]

When the curtain rises

And the setting dissolves

The stage will occupy only one

Who will be reaching for the devil's cup

[Chorus]

But he's never gonna give it up

I'll be sipping from the devil's cup

But he'll never really give it up
