"El Diablo Esta Ganando" lyrics

"El Diablo Esta Ganando"

The devil ain't sleeping' a lot ever day he's up and at 'em
Working like the dickens since he told Eve to give an apple to Adam

The devil ain't much for talk says actions speak louder than words
So throw away that acoustic guitar get a Voxac30 and a Gibson Firebird

Old ghosts are rattlin' chains
Scarecrows are dancing in the wind
Roosters don't crow at dawn no more
My faith is held together with a safety pin
My faith is held together with a safety pin

Yes, the devil is winning, the priests are weary of praying
Si' el diablo esta ganando is what the Spanish black birds are saying

The devil's walking on bones blowing kisses to the departed
Whistling Smokestack Lightning calling out to the blackhearted

The devil been racking his brains wearing holes in his shoes
Wondering who's wearing the sailor hat in the python eatin' a little mouse tattoo
