Before The Devil Knows I'm Dead

Pray for me
Pray for me

There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you
Something on the tip of my tongue
Something I saw in my old man when I was young
(Pray for me)
Will the water wash away the blood
And everything that I’ve done?
How can I save my name when the fire comes?
(Pray for me)

I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead

I don’t know how to tell you
But where you’re going when you die
They don’t let the bad folk like me inside
(Pray for me)
I know I promised forever
But forever is a long, long time
Can you stand to be alone in your afterlife?
(Pray for me)

I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead

I am simple
My hands are quiet
I’ve paid for what I did in the night
I am simple
My hands are quiet
I’ve paid for what I did in the night

I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
I wanna make it to heaven
Before the devil knows I’m dead
