Oh Lord, have mercy on me
Please pull me from this heat
My hands are burning and I can't feel my feet
This wasn't how my life was to be
Bum bum bum bum, Oh no
Bum bum bum bum, Oh no

I'm going down with the Devil's thunder, yeah
I'm going down
So throw me some water
Yeah, Throw me some water
Water, oh no

You said last time in old Quebec
Your child of comfort, of guilt and regret
It's no wonder you feel you're going down
So I buck up, and back on my feet
And the money is good and revenge is sweet
But I still wonder about me
Bum bum bum bum, oh no
Bum bum bum bum, oh no

I'm going down with the Devil's thunder, yeah
I'm going down
So throw me some water
Yeah, Throw me some water
Water, Oh no

They say sing for your supper
But they say sing for your pain
But it won't bring the rain,
No it won't bring the rain
No no
Oh no no

I'm going down with the Devil's thunder, yeah
I'm going down
So throw me some water
Yeah, Throw me some water
Water, Oh no
Bum bum bum bum, oh no
Bum bum bum bum, oh no

    General Comment:This song is about getting to a point in your life where you can no longer ignore how far from your principles you've wandered. It starts with a simple impetus- revenge or a bit of money. But then it goes so far as to make you wonder where it became so bad, when you started to need someone to throw you some water to make you more comfortable in your trip to the Devil. But I think there's also a feeling that it's reversible, if you only realize soon enough.
