| Notes: | Ryan Adams: That's based on a recurring dream I had as a kid that has sort of continued a little bit into my adult life about the devil and about this weird trip I take where I go on this plane and I fly to a city which turns out to be Hell. I'm supposed to have this appointment but I never quite find out what's going on. It might also be about love. If you listen to the song, the character in it is selling his soul for love. But once that's done - the line is "All my time is wasteful now" - you might have love but no way to experience it. It's kinda like what people will do for love. They'll sell their soul for it - even if they can't experience or communicate it - just to know that they did have it." |

| Lyrics: |
I sleep
a sleep It's
what the devil wanted Put
your lover to your chest All my
time is wasteful now
My idle hands It's
what the devil wanted All my
time is wasteful now Ah, ah, ah, baby |
