[Verse 1]
You know you've got to get away
You want to leave the past behind
But when you go off on a search for yourself
You might not like what you find

[Chorus]
Because the devil lurks on the road
Oh yes, the devil lurks on the road

[Verse 2]
Nobody here knows who you are
You needn't worry what they think
You're coming closer to the darkness in your heart
It's left you standing on the brink

[Chorus]
Because the devil lurks on the road
Oh yes, the devil lurks on the road

[Bridge]
The ghost of love it haunts you still
And now it feels out of control
You will not know that you are too far gone
Until that chasm rushes up
[Chorus]
Because the devil lurks on the road
Oh yes, the devil lurks on the road

[Outro]
Lurks on the road
Lurks on the road
Lurks on the road
Lurks on the road
