Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The year of the weird
Bookended by booty pics I never posted
I was kissin' the grime
With the trigger finger in the sunrise
They told me, "A candle's unlucky
If it never gets to light the darkness"
But I never want to light the darkness
[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm in league with the devil
You better buck me off
I'm in league with the devil
You better buck me off
I compete with the devil
He better stop me
Devil, you better stop me
Better find a way to top me
[Verse 3]
Wouldn't you mind
Acting as the centerfold in someone's longing
I pitch 'em the bird
Then head down to the corner store
Half hour to closing
Out on the avenue
There's an innocent who said she knows you
(How'd she ever get to know you?)
Only I can know the real you
[Verse 4]
I'm the devil
You better buck me off
In league with the devil
You better buck me off
I compete with the devil
He better stop me
Devil, you better stop me
Better find a way to top me
[Verse 5]
What ever happened to
What we used to, we used to do?
What ever happened to
What we used to, we used to do?
What ever happened to
What we used to, we used to do?
We used to, we used to do
We used to, we used to do
[Verse 6]
Let's have a padded blanket
For our most manic moments
Like vampires, they sucked me up
Could you buck me off?
Perishing in aftershock
Was never close enough
[Verse 7]
I'm complete with the devil
He better find a way to smart me
[Verse 8]
You better buck me off
You better buck me off
You better buck me off
