Dining with the Devil

A man said let's have dinner, we'll get some business done As long as we have to work to do, We might as well have fun We ordered a libation, That first sip I felt the burn In continued conversation, Things took a subtle turn Let me offer some advice Some guidance if you will If you want to be up on the top You’ve got to climb the hill If you’re driving in a snowstorm Be careful you don’t wreck If you’re dining with the devil Insist on separate checks solos I rose before the coffee came, Said crime is not my style He said you're hands got dirty, Just sitting here a while I'd kept my wits about me, I crossed no lines at all Because you're out there on the edge, Won't mean you're bound to fall Advice is what you make of it Up to you what happens next If you're buying pigs packed up in pokes You're not sure what you'll get If it's too good to be true, my friend You'll wind up with regret If you're dining with the devil Insist on separate checks solo Let me offer some advice Some guidance if you will If you want to be up on the top You’ve got to climb the hill If you’re driving in a snowstorm Be careful you don’t wreck If you’re dining with the devil Insist on separate checks
