Poughkeepsie, NY Lyrics

Artist: Strata
Album: Strata Presents The End Of The World

I met the Devil in Poughkeepsie, New York
He took a seat right beside me at the end of the bar
He said I looked familiar, had we met sometime before?
Yeah, I drank with the Devil in Poughkeepsie, New York

And I confessed I hadn't prayed to God since nineteen-eighty-eight,
he said, " oh kid, you should try again, you know, before it's too late."
I asked him where my soul would go if I just dropped dead today,
he smiled and said "Oh, you've got some good friends waiting for you at the gates."

Hallelujah! O', Hallelujah!

He said, "Just say the word and I'll give you fame and fancy whores,
or would you rather die a simple man, just honest and poor?"
I said, "Well now I know who my real friends are and I can't ask for much more."
I thanked the Devil for my drinks and made my way for the door
