before the devil knows i'm dead

pray for me

pray for me

there's something i've been meaning to ask you

something on the tip of my tongue

something i saw in my old man when i was young

will the water wash away the blood

and everything that i've done?

how can i save my name when the fire comes?

i wanna make it to heaven

before the devil knows i'm dead

i don't know how to tell you

but where you're going when you die

they don't let the bad folk like me inside

i know i promised forever

but forever is a long

long time

can you stand to be alone in your afterlife?

i wanna make it to heaven

before the devil knows i'm dead

i wanna make it to heaven

before the devil knows i'm dead

i am simple

my hands are quiet

i've paid for what i did in the night

i am simple

my hands are quiet

i've paid for what i did in the night

i wanna make it to heaven

before the devil knows i'm dead

i wanna make it to heaven

before the devil knows i'm dead

i wanna make it to heaven

before the devil knows i'm dead

i wanna make it to heaven

before the devil knows i'm dead
