The Cult — King Contrary Man lyrics

Lyrics

I saw the devil
The contrary man
I saw the devil down the long, long road
He said to me, boy
He said to me, boy
He said to me, boy
I want your soul
I said no I said no I said no You can’t take my soul
No I said no I said no, no You can’t take my soul
I took a while and thought about it Down at the crossroads temptin' fate
I took a while and thought about it Down at the crossroads temptin' fate
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can take my soul
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can take my soul
Take my soul
I want it all, yeah
Play it, baby
Ow, yeah, ow Zany antics of a beat generation
In their wild search for kicks
Fighting, drinking, scorning convention
Making wild love, making wild love
I saw the devil
The contrary man
I saw the devil down the long, long road
He said to me, boy
He said to me, boy
He said to me, boy
I want your soul
I said yeah
I said yeah
I said yeah
Yeah…
I want it all
I want it all
Yeah
