We don’t talk much about it It goes back so many years All the times we almost didn’t make it We stayed clear Dancing with the devil Call it respect, call it fear But we never allowed the devil To come to the party We were careful in our own way We walk through the darkness We made a pact not to dance with the devil Even when the devil seemed to have a heart He said we’d never be sorry For what we’d done And we never allowed the devil To come to the party You can’t fix this, you lost a friend Hearts breaking, right and left Friendships break like glass And the devil pours another glass It’s so easy The devil pours a glass of Champagne Asks someone new to dance It’s so easy to ruin people’s lives He twirls around and starts to laugh Tear up the invitation Hear the bells ring on the hour He twirls around and he laughs He said we’d never be sorry For what we’d done And we never allowed the devil To come to the party You can’t fix this, you lost a friend Hearts breaking, right and left Friendships break like glass And the devil pours another glass No, we never allowed the devil To come to the party Yes, we said that we would never be sorry For what we’d done Never go to the party If you think you won’t come home Never dance with the devil You can’t fix this, you lost a friend He will burn you down Hearts breaking, right and left Well, never dance with the devil You can’t fix this, you lost a friend He will burn you down Hearts breaking, right and left Never dance with the devil You can’t fix this, you lost a friend He will burn you down You can’t fix this, you lost a friend Don’t ever dance with the devil You can’t fix this, you lost a friend He will burn you down You can’t fix this You can’t fix this You can’t fix this You can’t fix this You can’t fix this
