Tunie: Straight to Hell

About

By Great Big Sea, new CD is Fortune's Favor. I'm trying to restrain myself from doing all their new songs as Tunies.

Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

We'll have no time upon Cloud 9

So heaven on earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

Cuz I made a deal with the devil

And when I die,

I'm going straight to hell.

Standing at the crossroads

He offered wine, women and song

Riches, fame and fortune

In my hands from that day on

I was granted there and then

A life of rock 'n' roll

And it seemed like such a bargain

For just one eternal soul

I know I'll curse this damn decision

And I'll regret it till the moment I fall

But I'll be making the most of a bad situation

Until my number's called

Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

We'll have no time upon Cloud 9

So heaven on earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

Cuz I made a deal with the devil

And when I die,

I'm going straight to hell

Oh yeah

I'm going straight to hell.

There's times I swear I come out on top

In this ill-conceived contract

And there's nights I say

It's a small price to pay

For the life and times I've had

And I think "Here's to the gents and ladies

And all the foolish times we spent!”

They cost me afterlife in Paradise

And they were worth every single cent

So have a dance with the walking damned

Before my time is done

Cuz a deal is a deal and I don't expect

Fire and brimstone'll be much fun

Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

We'll have no time upon Cloud 9

So heaven on earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

Cuz I made a deal with the devil

And when I die,

I'm going straight to hell

Oh yeah

I'm going straight to hell.

I have every expectation

That my final prayer will go unheard

And my veiled deathbed confession

Will not move the mighty Lord

And I'm sure that I'll be sorry

When he slams St. Peter's gate

But I'll dive right in to damnation

With a smile across my face

Love me now while we're alive

It's the best thing we can do

We'll have no time upon Cloud 9

So heaven on earth will have to do

I can sing like a bird and dance like a demon

And I do it all so well

Cuz I made a deal with the devil

And when I die,

I'm going straight to hell

Cuz I made a deal with the devil

And when I die,

I'm going straight to hell

Oh yeah

I'm going straight to hell

I'm going straight to hell.
