[Verse 1]
Devil take away
Your time, what do you think?
Devil take away
Nobody better than you, never find me
Take away now my time
And you'll never find me
Damn shame, nothing we can do but try
It's a damn shame, nothing we can do but cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Dance in circles and scream so loud
Barricade the door and hide in the house
And I gotta say that
[Chorus]
You don't always win, ain't it a sin
How the others play the game?
Far way, that's where I live
Live by the rules, go ask any fool now
[Post-Chorus]
Take it away, take it away, devil take
My time and dеvil take down
All my time and devil takе down
My, my time and
[Bridge]
Damn shame, nothing we can do but cry
It's a damn shame it ain't worth the effort to try
Damn shame, nothing left to do but hide
And he took my body, and he took my pride
Damn shame, do but cry
Give it all up and tell me that
You never find me
No, no, no, no, no, no
Devil take away, take away
Devil take, devil take away
Take away, take away
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Never the same, never the same
Never the same twice
Throwin' the dice, throwin' the dice
Feel lucky
Take it away, take it away
Ain't worth a fight
Tell me to pay, tell me to pay
Never right
Giving it up, giving it up
Give it all away
Making a deal, making a deal
Light of day
Paying the price, paying the price
With a dividend
Making it right, making it right
Till the living end, don't you know that
[Chorus]
You don't always win, ain't it a sin
How the others play the game?
Far way, that's where I live
Live by the rules, go ask any fool now
[Outro]
Take it away, take it away

This was totally off the cuff and just pure fun for me. I decided to just pick up the guitar, let it run amok, come up with improvised lyrics and then not try to fix it.
