Dark car, bright day, one stop, two lanes
Where are we goin'? Uh, oh, the meter's blowin'
I see a black cloud, back seat, tied up from my head to my feet
I don't know nothin', and I think the chauffeur's bluffin'
He's got a great big smile, and plate round puppy eyes
And I can see Jesus if I try

But I think I got the devil hiding in the driver's seat
He's staring at me like I'm good enough to eat
He's got another thing comin' if he thinks he's gonna feast on me
So I say what's it gonna be, Luci?
Seize the devil when he's coming after you, huh
Beat the devil when he's right in front of you and

Wildfire blazed soul flaming hot but frozen cold
I hear him snickering and I notice embers spitting
Then with a loud roar and a sharp howl, he says ain't no way you're gonna get out now
But I ain't quitting, 'cause I'm smarter than he's thinking
He's got a great big smile, and cheekbones cut like knives
But I know he's real ugly inside

'Cause I think I got the devil hiding in the driver's seat
He's staring at me like I'm good enough to eat
He's got another thing comin' if he thinks he's gonna feast on me
So I say what's it gonna be, Luci?
Seize the devil when he's coming after you, huh
Beat the devil when he's right in front of you and
Cheat the devil when he hasn't got a clue, huh
Eat the devil or there's nothing you can do

Think there's gonna be a showdown between my new hot friend and I
My pocket knife is cutting up the ropes now, gotta try, gotta try
I think there's gonna be a showdown between my new hot friend and I
'Cause in the end, the ultimatum is that one of us has to die
Not I

So I gotta kill the devil hiding in the driver's seat
He's staring at me like I'm good enough to eat
He's got another thing comin' if he thinks he's gonna feast on me
So I say what's it gonna be, Luci?
Seize the devil when he's coming after you, huh
(You cannot kill)
Beat the devil when he's right in front of you and
(What's it gonna be, Luci)
Cheat the devil when he hasn't got a clue, huh
Eat the devil or there's nothing you can do
