lyrics

In the desert with the Devil and the Ace of Spades
I had my colors burning
And though they tried to keep me still
Well I just kept on turning

When I turn from
Side to Side
Loosen up my grip
Saw that handle coming
I tried to let it slip

Well Satan he pointed out the sun
I did not think it funny
And when I turned to take a look
You know he pulled out all his money

I said the cash is fabulous
An offer you can't refuse
Except that when you lose you win
And when you win you lose

Well the Ace of Spades he just fell right down
Lay there on his back
I stretched out my hand to help him up
He just said, "Get back"
