"Silver Tongued Devil" by Kris Kristofferson

I took myself down to the Tally Ho Tavern,
To buy me a bottle of beer.
And I sat me down by a tender young maiden,
Who's eyes were as dark as her hair.
And as I was searching from bottle to bottle,
For something un-foolish to say.
That silver tongued devil just slipped from the shadows,
And smilingly stole her away.

I said: "Hey, little girl, don't you know he's the devil.
He's everything that I ain't.
Hiding intentions of evil,
Under the smile of a saint.
All he's good for is getting in trouble,
And shiftin' his share of the blame.
And some people swear he's my double:
And some even say we're the same.
But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose,
I'll only live 'til I die.
We take our own chances and pay our own dues,
The silver tongued devil and I."

Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him,
She knew in her heart that he'd lied.
Nothin' that I could have said could have saved her,
No matter how hard that she tried.
'Cos she'll offer her charms to the darkness and danger,
Of somethin' that she's never known.
And open her arms at the smile of a stranger,
Who'll love her and leave her alone.

And you know, he's the devil.
He's everything that I ain't.
Hiding intentions of evil,
Under the smile of a saint.
All he's good for is getting in trouble,
And shiftin' his share of the blame.
And some people swear he's my double:
And some even say we're the same.
But the silver-tongued devil's got nothing to lose,
I'll only live 'til I die.
We take our own chances and pay our own dues,
Ah ha ha ha.

The silver tongued devil and I.


Yeah, so it seems that the things I saw were true, the 'bad' ones. But isn't it a relief to know now? I knew what was going to happen, but that doesn't mean that I could change it. I just had to go with the flow eventually. If people could go back in time, I'm not sure that they really could alter the future like they show in movies and on tv. You might change the road you're on, but all rivers still flow to the sea. Or however that goes. The outcomes aren't going to change. That's one of the most frustrating things about intuition and stuff. Ignorance really is bliss because you just take everything as it comes, but when you know what's coming you have time to fret and worry and fear it. But you don't really have any power to change it. Not really. And whatever things I see I can't really tell people. It would freak them out too much. Oh, maybe not. But I'm not ready to risk it. And I do know. I know what people are hiding, but they shouldn't let that scare them because it doesn't matter to me -- it doesn't affect how I see them. Well, except when they continue to hide and deny. We're all human with weaknesses and darknesses.
