We can't avoid all of the evil in this world, but we don't have to get too close to it. "Slow Dancing with the Devil" can take us one place only.

Story behind the song
Too many people are getting too cozy with "if it feels good, do it." There's a heavy price to pay, and the luxury tax is a killer.
Lyrics
SLOW DANCING WITH THE DEVIL You’re a cool con man, Fingers oh so light. You take what you can; Can’t take back the night. Cheat on your taxes; You cheat on your wife. Say it relaxes The stress in your life. You’re … Slow dancing with the devil; You know his song too well. Slow dancing with the devil; Two-stepping into Hell. Lie to your children, And lie to your boss. The young damage done Is the greater loss. Radar detector’s The fuzz-busting best. One more reflector; You failed one more test. You’re … Slow dancing with the devil; You know his song too well. Slow dancing with the devil; Two-stepping into Hell. You’re deaf to preaching; You can’t hear the truth. Fell for false teaching; Threw away your youth. You drink way too much; Do far too much dope. You won’t need a crutch At the end of your rope. You’re … Slow dancing with the devil; You know his song too well. Slow dancing with the devil; Two-stepping into Hell. Flipping off the God Who created you. Jailhouse or jihad - Neither way is true. Can’t hide with make up The scars of your crimes. I pray you wake up Before the end times. You’re … Slow dancing with the devil; You know his song too well. Slow dancing with the devil; Two-stepping into Hell. Copyright © 2005 Lex Zaleta
