[Verse 1] Under the boardwalk, I kept my face low Atlantic wind cut through my coat slow Pine tar on the curb, red tape on the gate Too many hands on my door, too much hate Low level creeps with the moon in their teeth I dragged my name back out from underneath [Pre-Chorus] So I took that walk Down where the dark folks talk I said, “Take this mess off me” I said, “Set my block free” [Chorus] I went to Satan, Satan Turn it around for me I went to Satan, Satan Get these hexes off my street Witches in the hallway Witches in the stair I went to Satan, Satan And he knew why I was there [Verse 2] M.R.S.A. rumors in the laundry room Door got kicked, but I wasn’t doomed Little deal made with a grin too wide I left with fire in my pocket, not pride Wild-eyed clowns on the fence line now I don’t bow down, I just walk out loud [Pre-Chorus] So I took that walk Down where the dark folks talk I said, “Take this mess off me” I said, “Set my block free” [Chorus] I went to Satan, Satan Turn it around for me I went to Satan, Satan Get these hexes off my street Witches in the hallway Witches in the stair I went to Satan, Satan And he knew why I was there [Bridge] Half-time in the back room Salt on the floor I heard the lock click I heard that storm roar No more crawling shadows No more borrowed pain I came back clean-eyed Through the sleet and rain [Chorus] I went to Satan, Satan Turn it around for me I went to Satan, Satan Get these hexes off my street Witches in the hallway Witches in the stair I went to Satan, Satan And he knew why I was there [Outro] Atlantic City, don’t you test me now I came back hard I came back how (I came back how)
