dark prince of hell won’t you let me slide
G D G

verse 1
G
well i gave two cents to a guy sleeping on the street
D
who said he spent two weeks without nothing to eat
G C
so i was down to 664
G D G
but i caught that mother outside of the liquor store

verse 2
so i took away his bottle of thunderbird
and i brought it down to the priest at the catholic church
he bought it off me for $1 . 98
just before he pointed to the cross and the collection plate

verse 3
when i go i want to go on the winning side
so i dropped in $1 . 95
it felt so good to be holding 667
because that’s the kind of money i need to get me into heaven

verse 4
i know then i should have rushed on over to see you
but i stumbled up on a team trying to settle a dispute
so i offered to help in the debate of theirs
by flipping my extra penny into the air

verse 5
sadly i didn’t catch it when it came back down
it fell into the sewer after rolling around
not being the type to assist only to fail
i pulled out the only penny that was gonna keep me out of hell

verse 6
feeling so clumsy and aloof this time
i asked the gentlemen to flip it if he’d be so kind
but their dispute was whether a sucker was born every minute
once he had that penny in his hand away they went
