So Sweet

Super Powers by Howard Finster

I've got a devil on one shoulder

and another on the other

Baby, I try to be good

but it's so so hard

with these devils of mine

jabbering all the time

One whispers in my ear

for me to do wrong

and the other one, Lordy
it cheers it on

I listen for an angel

but she's been gone 

gone a long long time, baby

and I don't believe 

she's ever coming back
home

All of my sin
must've drove her away

just like you say I'm doing to you

I know you speak the truth, baby

but the devils got me tied

up in lies

But, baby, if you could love a devil

just a little 

I could take the heat, 'cause

Heaven knows,

burnt sugar is so sweet.

Wicked

Eve and Lilith by favoritecolour

You can tempt me with the apple
You can tempt me with the core
Cause once I've had a taste of you
You leave me wanting more

I swallow down a mouthful
While most spit out the seeds
Your forked tongue beside my ear
Bespeaks most evil deeds

When I hear the hell hounds howl
I dress myself in night
I climb into your bed while
Their dark eyes glow like whores' lights

You can tempt me with the bones
Or with the blood or with the skin
Cause it don't take much tempting
For this wicked child to sin.
