On Easy St. last night

The devil offered me a deal

He said, come on and take what you'd like,

And later tell me how you feel

So I looked up all around

On this uneasy street

I'd have been happy if I had found

something simple to eat

But just as he asked me Maureen walked past

I said, Mr. Devil, she is so refined.

He said, I tricked you little brother

I tricked you little brother

That tricky little mother is mine.



I wish I was as good as I look

I wish I was that good

I wish I was as good as I look

Wish I could be that good



It was too late for me

I'd just set eyes on my heart's ideal

I was in ecstasy I was up and ready to steal

So I looked up all around on this uneasy street

I kept on looking until I found the prints of my beloved's feet

I kept up the chase 'til I looked right in her face

I said, My darling you have angel's eyes

She said to this little brother

You knew little brother

This is just his still mother's disguise

I wish I was as good as I look

I wish I was that good

I wish I was as good as I look wish I could be that good





I just could not believe someone so beautiful could not be pure

I prayed for some reprieve I had to save her from the Devil's lure

But I guess the Devil was bound to win

On this uneasy street

I had to know what was beneath her skin

I had to face up to the Devil's heat

But I didn't have to ask

she just took off her mask

In a second it was clear to see

He said, I tricked you little brother

I tricked you little brother

This tricky little mother...is me.

Is me

Is me



I wish I was as good as I look I wish I was that good

I wish I was as good as I look wish I could be that good

I tricked you little brother.

yeah yeah

I tricked you little brother
