The Nude Party
Pardon Me, Satan
[Verse 1]
"You keep talking about all of the good times"
Says the gallows to the hanging tree
"Well, I wondered if you had me confused with somebody else
I can't figure why you'd be so hung up on me"

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't I know
When I'd best set down that telephone

[Chorus]
Oh, Lord, don't tempt me now
While I'm weak and considering sin
Please pardon me, Satan
Because I'm a drunk and you know I'll give in

[Verse 2]
As I crawled down that damp darkened hallway
Despair filled my boots up to the brim
If the worth of a man is the weight of his word
I guess mine could be blown by the wind

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't I know
When I'd best set down that telephone
[Chorus]
Oh, Lord don't tempt me now
While I'm weak and considering sin
Please pardon me, Satan
Because I'm a drunk and you know I'll give in

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
On that long drive back from New York City
The mirrors avoided my eyes
And that pride in my pocket tore a hole though my side
For in no person can a liar confide

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don't I know
When I'd best set down that telephone

[Chorus]
Oh, Lord don't tempt me now
While I'm weak and considering sin
Please pardon me, Satan
Because I'm a drunk and you know I'll give in
Oh, Lord don't tempt me now
While I'm weak and considering sin
Please pardon me, Satan
Because I'm a drunk and you know I'll give in
