We don’t talk much about it
It goes back so many years
All the times we almost didn’t make it
We stayed clear
Dancing with the devil
Call it respect, call it fear
But we never allowed the devil
To come to the party
We were careful in our own way
We walk through the darkness
We made a pact not to dance with the devil
Even when the devil seemed to have a heart

He said we’d never be sorry
For what we’d done
And we never allowed the devil
To come to the party
You can’t fix this, you lost a friend
Hearts breaking, right and left
Friendships break like glass
And the devil pours another glass
It’s so easy
The devil pours a glass of Champagne
Asks someone new to dance
It’s so easy to ruin people’s lives
He twirls around and starts to laugh
Tear up the invitation
Hear the bells ring on the hour
He twirls around and he laughs

He said we’d never be sorry
For what we’d done
And we never allowed the devil
To come to the party
You can’t fix this, you lost a friend
Hearts breaking, right and left
Friendships break like glass
And the devil pours another glass
No, we never allowed the devil
To come to the party
Yes, we said that we would never be sorry
For what we’d done
Never go to the party
If you think you won’t come home
Never dance with the devil
You can’t fix this, you lost a friend
He will burn you down
Hearts breaking, right and left
Well, never dance with the devil
You can’t fix this, you lost a friend
He will burn you down
Hearts breaking, right and left
Never dance with the devil
You can’t fix this, you lost a friend
He will burn you down
You can’t fix this, you lost a friend
Don’t ever dance with the devil
You can’t fix this, you lost a friend
He will burn you down

You can’t fix this
You can’t fix this
You can’t fix this
You can’t fix this
You can’t fix this
