[Intro]
Static crackles, vinyl hums, old broadcast calls,
A tune of warnings from unknown halls.
Echoes of a jazz age shadowed by regret,
A story wrapped in vinyl stains, don't forget.
[Verse 1]
Back in the day, in a smoky jazz club,
He met a smooth stranger with a sly, dark love.
Promises whispered over a smoky lip,
A devil's deal sealed with a fingertips' slip.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the rhythm and blues, they told him to run,
But the allure of gold, oh, it weighed a ton.
He danced with the devil, in shadows he fell,
Now he's ringing the warning bell.
[Chorus]
Don't deal with the devil, hear what I say,
He'll takе your soul, then walk away.
In the jazz of the night, there's a price to pay,
Peace don’t come cheap, no, don’t deal today.
[Verse 2]
Now the vinyl skips, and the radio's old,
Tales of a man whose soul turned cold.
Gospel echoes mixed with blues so deep,
In a gamble that robbed him of his sleep.
[Pre-Chorus]
He thought he could win, that charm so coy,
But the devil's game, oh, he’d destroy.
He played a tune, but lost in the end,
A warning to all who seek to mend.
[Chorus]
Don't deal with the devil, heed the song,
He'll eat your soul before too long.
Swinging darkly, hear the call,
Don’t sign your soul, don’t mess at all.
[Bridge]
(Spoken Word)
"See, I dealt, I gambled, I lost my way,
Now I walk these streets, hollow and gray.
If you hear the jazz, the blues, the swing,
Remember my story, and what it can bring."
[Instrumental]
(Raw, bluesy guitar and bass interlude with vintage broadcast sounds)
[Chorus]
Don’t deal with the devil, I warn again,
He’s got no mercy, no forgiving friend.
Keep your soul, stay in the light,
Don’t fall for his tempting night.
[Outro]
Static fades, a final crackle,
Leaves a cautionary tale in your grasp.
Remember the tune, the warning in the air,
Deal with the devil? Better beware.
