Rowin' a boat on the river Styx
I was told to ferry the hicks
Sometimes I need a fix
Or at least some sweet guitar licks
Don't too often see good-lookin' chicks
Most people I transport are pricks
I have permission to delete them with two clicks
You should see them excretin' those bricks
It's all merry in our underworld pandemo-
nium, everyone is calling out "behold and Lo"
We make people dance by shooting bullets between their shoes
If they behave, I take them for a cruise
Wager whose service is cheaper
Mephistopheles or the Grim Reaper?
I'm bound to tell you if you enter here
You can't go back to the atmosphere
We don't judge you, whatever you've done
But we might barbecue you for fun
You're here forever, if all hell breaks lose
You might hurt but won't retain even a bruise
It's all merry in our underworld pandemo-
nium, everyone is calling out "behold and Lo"
We make people dance by shooting bullets between their shoes
If they behave, I take them for a cruise
In my back I feel a painful sting
Guess I wasn't supposed to sing
Turns out it's Lucifer's trident
He says he shouldn't have been confidin'
In me to act all sinister
He didn't think I was such a jester
Is there a lesson to learn
For someone who's going to burn?
