《sympathy for the devil》的英文歌詞如下：
歌詞：
When you meet me down in Houston,
In a red and gold basement carving up with razor blades and opium dreams.
Chopped like beef across my pallet.
Lottery jackpot underwear and plenty of porn on TV, so dreaming away my face in neon pink waves.
My tender pet will pay in a thousand, so live to satisfy and widen my predicament.
Chorus:
And so you want to take a little sympathy for the devil,
Just because he's lost his soul.
But I don't think he's so alone,
Just because he's lost his soul.
Now, if you were standing in a jail cell.
Waiting for the electric chair, I'd say, "Don't cry."
And if you were the victim of a crime,
And your face was on the six o'clock news, I'd say, "Don't cry."
But if you're a prisoner in your own mind,
Then you know what I mean.
Chorus:
And so you want to take a little sympathy for the devil,
Just because he's lost his soul.
But I don't think he's so alone,
Just because he's lost his soul.
Now, if you were walking down the street with a face like a slapped down frog,
I'd say, "Get some help."
But if you're lost in the desert of your mind,
You're gonna die alone.
Chorus:
So you want to take a little sympathy for the devil,
Just because he's lost his soul.
But I don't think he's so alone,
Just because he's lost his soul.
He just needs someone to tell him it's alright.
It's alright.
It's alright.
It's alright.
Verse 2:
So here I am on my knees with my hands tied up in prayer.
Looking for someone to hear me out and say it's alright.
I ain't got no time for the world to laugh at me.
I ain't got no time for the world to judge me.
Chorus:
And so you want to take a little sympathy for the devil,
Just because he's lost his soul.
But I don't think he's so alone,
Just because he's lost his soul.
And when they go they ain't coming back, so you know what I mean.
Yeah, they gone gone. (repeat chorus)
