[Verse 1]
Dark car, bright day
One stop, two lanes
Where are we goin'?
Uh oh, the meter's blowin'

[Verse 2]
I see a black cloud, back seat
Tied up from my head to my feet
I don't know nothin'
And I think the chauffeur's bluffin'

[Pre-Chorus]
He's got a great big smile and plate-round puppy eyes
And I can see Jesus if I try

[Chorus]
But I think I got the devil hiding in the driver's seat
He's staring at me like I'm good enough to eat
He's got another thing comin' if he thinks he's gonna feast on me
So I say, "What's it gonna be, Luci?"

[Post-Chorus]
(Seize the devil when he's coming after you, huh
Beat the devil when he's right in front of you, and...)
[Verse 3]
Wildfire, blazed soul
Flaming hot but frozen cold
I hear him snickering
And I notice embers spitting (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 4]
Then with a loud roar and a sharp howl
He says, "Ain't no way you're gonna get out now"
But I ain't quitting
'Cause I'm smarter than he's thinking

[Pre-Chorus]
He's got a great big smile, and cheekbones cut like knives
But I know he's real ugly inside

[Chorus]
'Cause I think I got the devil hiding in the driver's seat
He's staring at me like I'm good enough to eat
He's got another thing comin' if he thinks he's gonna feast on me
So I say, "What's it gonna be, Luci?"

[Post-Chorus]
(Seize the devil when he's coming after you, huh
Beat the devil when he's right in front of you, and
Cheat the devil when he hasn't got a clue, huh
Eat the devil or there's nothing you can do)
[Bridge]
Think there's gonna be a showdown
Between my new hot friend and I (and I)
My pocket knife is cutting up the ropes now
Gotta try (Gotta try), gotta try (Gotta try)
I think there's gonna be a showdown
Between my new hot friend and I
'Cause in the end, the ultimatum is that one of us has to die
Not I

[Chorus]
So I gotta kill the devil hiding in the driver's seat
He's staring at me like I'm good enough to eat
He's got another thing comin' if he thinks he's gonna feast on me
So I say, "What's it gonna be, Luci?"

[Post-Chorus]
(Seize the devil when he's coming after you, huh)
See, you cannot kill me, you cannot kill me
(Beat the devil when he's right in front of you and)
What's it gonna be, Luci?
(Cheat the devil when he hasn't got a clue, huh
Eat the devil or there's nothing you can do)
