[Verse 1]
Soon he'll be fast asleep
And I'll slip towards the trap door
And later you'll find me grappling
Scraped and torn on the sidewalk

[Chorus]
And reaching for the devil's cup
But he's never gonna give it up

[Verse 2]
I walk into the room with you
Biding lights sideways
But soon the contrast will be gone
And my comfort will lie in the graze

[Chorus]
I'll be sipping from the devil's cup
But he'll never really give it up
I'll be sipping from the devil's cup
But he'll never really give it up

[Bridge]
When the curtain rises
And the setting dissolves
The stage will occupy only one
Who will be reaching for the devil's cup
[Chorus]
But he's never gonna give it up
I'll be sipping from the devil's cup
But he'll never really give it up
