    Though I’ve walked down a crooked path
    Then don’t mean it wasn’t cursed
    My feeble heart was filled with wrath
    My poison mind with thoughts perverse
    And the devil is living my basement
    I’m trying hard to hide him from my wife
    And I know some day I’m gonna have to face him
    But for now I keep my secrets with the night
    As I breathe through this windy city
    The devil he now rides upon my back
    And all the boys here look mighty pretty
    I need to fix and Lord I need it fast
    I let my house guests rest in my crawl space
    Don’t let anyone tell you that I’m a bad host
    I take cover behind my white face paint
    While I battle my bitter father’s ghost
    Uhuu, uhuu, uhuu!
    And by now the hounds have surely caught my scent
    In just a short time I’m no longer free
    Oh, Lord you know I would repent
    But now the devil he speaks for me
    And the icy needle kisses my veins
    As I kiss my dear sister goodbye
    Now as I descend into the final flames
    Is my turn to die

    I think there's a dual meaning to this song. Heroin is a serial killer , hunting the young men of cities like Chicago. The corner dealers with the strongest stuff call it "boys" for heroin and "girl" for coke back around 2010-2013.

      It’s about John Wayne Gacy, who dressed up as a clown for kids’ birthday parties, painted clowns, killed young men and buried them in the crawl space under his house, and was executed by lethal injection. The references are numerous.
