“Have you ever seen the Devil? I have. He's a beautiful man with dark black hair and glowing red eyes. He has a suit made of fire and a pitchfork of gold. He begs me to come and join him in his dance of sin. He begs me to twirl and jump to his fiddle and then drink some of his ambrosia like whiskey. He slinks around me like a burning corpse and it's so hard to resist. Ah, yes I want to give in!”
