(chorus) A
If these old walls could talk
Id be a sad man
Shed left me long ago
If she knew the things I did back then
No, they aint said a word
Stood silent through it all
Id be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk

This old house of ours
Its made of stone but its built on sand
And these four walls they are my best friends
Theyre keepin all my past locked deep inside
No one will ever know
All those things I did so long ago
I keep runnin tryin to hide from yesterday
But theres just no need
I know my secrets safe

(repeat chorus)
Theyve stood the test of time
Never let me down
Ive put it all behind me
They remind me

Im on shaky ground
They wont let me forget

(repeat chorus)
Yea, Id be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk
Id be a sad man
Shed left me long ago
If she only knew all those things I did back then

Speak of the Devil

Heaven sent an angel to me to save me from lifes misery
She seemed to fall right outta the sky
I caught her here in my arms
Well life was pretty peachy things were really keen
All the sudden that ol gal got mean
Her wings fell off she started turnin red
And that old broken halo fell right off of her head yeah

(chorus)

Speak of the devil here she comes
Yeah, shes got this poor boy on the run
Oh, I swear shes got horns and a tail
A pitchfork and a book of spells
Speak of the devil here she comes, and here I go!

Fallen angel fell from grace
They kicked her out of that heavenly place
She was a raisin hell and breakin all the rules
Tellin lies, breakin hearts, being mean and cruel
So now shes down here on earth doin the devils dirty work
Stealin the soul of every man she can find
Sweet lips and pretty eyes oh they were a thin disguise
My little angel was a devil all along oh

(repeat chorus)

Here I goTryin to duck, tryin to dodge, tryin to shake her
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, I cant escape her
Shes everywhere I go she knows my every move
Oh I know Im bound to loose

(chorus)
Speak of the devil here she comes
Yeah, shes got this poor boy on the run
Oh, I swear shes got horns and a tail
A pitchfork and a book of spells
Speak of the devil here she comes, and here I go

(Fades in)
Speak of the, speak of the, speak of the devil here she comes
Speak of the, speak of the, speak of the devil here she comes
Speak of the, speak of the, speak of the devil here she comes
Speak of the devil here she comes and here I go.
