Lyrics

I was tumbling down, falling fast the ground,
wondering and dreaming of what I'd find next.
In my heart was a tune, I never heard but I knew
it was dark, it was light and complex.
With a scoop and a spin, I made my way right to him
He was smiling like a Copper Moon
And when my feet hit the ground what was lost now was found
like the dish ran away with the spoon

Chorus
Cuz the devil pulled me right down from heaven's gate
Got me swingin', got me swayin, got me staying out late
Cuz the devil pulled me right down from heaven's gate tonight

He took my right hand and led me down to the band
made of sinners and angels who felt too
He held up a mic, shined a light nice and bright,
told me sing of the songs that rang true.
Out of somewhere it came, all these words that I sang
I was shining like a star falling free
He grinned ear to ear. I was caught without fear
of dancing close with the dark destiny

Chorus

Taught my soul with good rock 'n' roll
if the good guys always win that may just be the biggest sin
Heaven knows my heart's made of gold
if fallin' low is this much fun it's time the bad guys finally won

Every night after night, I find my way to the light
That sold my soul to music's sweet kiss
We move from town to town, to all these songs I am bound
when it's gone, it's like a lover that I miss
While my halo still shines and my heart it is kind
That ol' devil still is winkin at me
When my time in the sun is all wrapped and is done
Hell, its good to know that I was so free

Chorus
Cuz the devil pulled me right down from heaven's gate
Got me swingin', got me swayin, got me staying out late
Cuz the devil pulled me right down from heaven's gate
Got me drinkin', Got me dancin', Got me playin' with my Fate!
Cuz the devil pulled me right down from heaven's gate tonight
