Devil's Bite

(album: Exile - 1973)

Who's that knocking on my door?
Who's that rising up from under that floor?
I know, I can hear that demon's roar
But I don't care, I ain't gonna hear it no more

I paid my dues last year
Now it's time that I clear out of here
Just let me know before you go

Are you devil or death? You'll have to bow
There's no power on earth gonna stop me now
I have done all things that make it right
To keep me out of the devil's bite

Heaven sent me down a sign
Things were bad but now I'm doing fine
So you better step back 'cross that line
I can't see you but for one last time

You marked my life like a scar
But it don't take a star to go far
I'll let you on, before I'm gone

Are you devil or death? You'll have to bow
There's no power on earth gonna stop me now
I have done all things that make it right
To keep me out of the devil's bite

I knew someday you'd be along
Swinging your tail and singing a dead man's song
Just when things get good you want your take but you're wrong
So I'm leaving this shell and I'm moving on

Are you devil or death? You'll have to bow
There's no power on earth gonna stop me now
I have done all things that make it right
To keep me out of the devil's bite

Are you devil or death? Are you devil or death?
Are you devil or death? Are you devil or death?
Are you devil or death? Are you devil or death?
Are you devil or death...
