The devil came to town today,
Riding in a black limousine
Appeared right in front of me
Like a scene from out a dream
He appeared at the Piazza
Know the one at Paisley Cross
I tooted to say hello
but I was at a loss
Was this really happening
or had I lost my mind?
I knew I’d just claimed
my inheritance divine.
Was he there to deliver
or try to buy my soul?
I was expecting to receive an offer
of some fool’s gold.
The lights turned red
And the devil did obey
As I sat there behind him
wondering what I’d say
He turned to the left,
up Causeyside Street
I wondered was it really me,
he had come to meet.
Pondering all the places
where did I think he’d go?
Just at the wishing well
I would finally know
Right outside The Welly
He pulled up the car
Would he make me an offer
To become a star?
Just like in the movies,
or written in a book.
If you don’t know the stories,
You’ll find them if you look.
I’d looked for him before
When desolation struck
But even with the devil
I was outta luck!
Walking up to meet him
Smiling like the sun
Did other people laugh,
or was I the only one?
I laughed so much
I couldn’t help greeting
Nobody would believe me
If I told them of us meeting
So out in the light
a kind stranger I did ask
“Would you my friend,
perform this small task?”
He took a wee picture
of me with a beamer
Is this the real life,
or am I a dreamer?
