Well this life ain´t so easy babe, when you´re playing alone
And this demon´s intentions are to chase you with a lonely parade
So I´ll try and make this simple babe, cause your light could burn out
Once you have some conception of what consists of a lonely parade
"What´s that?" you say
It´s the devil on stilts
Aman with a temper with a vengeance he kills
Asnake full of venom that you just can´t resist
And just hold on
A girl swingin´around with a blade that don´t miss
An archer with arrows that sting like a kiss
A clown that´ll haunt you put a knife in your back
Do you think you´ll work out?
Your friends ain´t so friendly babe, put a lock on your cage
And you´re touring with peril, a tall handsome rebel,
with a dangerous smile
They´ll hand you some evil babe, they´ll say give this a try
And you´ll jump on the wagon, with a rusty old dragon
in this lonely parade
"What´s that?" you say
It´s the devil on stilts
Aman with a temper with a vengeance he kills
Asnake full of venom that you just can´t resist
And just hold on
A girl swingin´around with a blade that don´t miss
An archer with arrows that sting like a kiss
A clown that´ll haunt you put a knife in your back
Do you think you´ll work out?

Well i know what you´re thinkin´, your blood doesn´t lie
You´re telling yourself this will be the last time
But this old dusty mirror, is calling your name
Who´s in control now, is it you my darling?
It´s the devil on stilts
Aman with a temper with a vengeance he kills
Asnake full of venom that you just can´t resist
And just hold on
A girl swingin´around with a blade that don´t miss
An archer with arrows that sting like a kiss
A clown that´ll haunt you put a knife in your back
I don´t think you´ll work out
