Devil's Song Songtext
von Me Like Bees

The age old dance
I′m tired of it but I'm sure we′ll dance it again
The world is that demanding friend
So scrape the bottom of this jar and spoon yourself in
They'll rail you after you could give a thuddy ghost
They'll give a nod and say, "Hey, you′re real close"
They′ll say, "If you could top me off
I know that can't be all you got
Give me just a drip of your soul
I′m gonna hit you 'til your mind blows"

If the devil sings a song and we don′t catch the chorus
Well, baby, believe me, I think we're better off
Ears to hear and eyes to see, it seems we miss a lot
But, baby, believe me, I think we′re better off


That real cool hand
I wonder how you're always only bluffing again
Stay calling knowing that however you try
That one thing's for sure, the house takes the kid
And there′s a way that may seem right to a man
But they′ll catch you cold, roundabout
If they break your comfort out
All along, convinced you were sold
They only wanna make your mind fold

If the devil sings a song and we don't catch the chorus
Well, baby, believe me, I think we′re better off
Ears to hear and eyes to see, it seems we miss a lot
But, baby, believe me, I think we're better off

Off, off
Baby, believe me, I think we′re better off
Off, off
Baby, believe me, I think we're better off

If the devil throws a ball and you dance on the coals
Well, that′s your fault for going
You don't know where you're going
If the piper plays a tune and you just dance along
Well, you don′t know who you′re following now
So break formation, break from the line
The dance they did won't help you find
Any sort of health for your soul
They′re only taking nibbles out of your soul


If the devil sings a song and we don't catch the chorus
Well, baby, believe me, I think we′re better off
Ears to hear and eyes to see, it seems we miss a lot
But, baby, believe me, I think we're better off

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well
Well, well, well, baby, believe me, I think we′re better off
Ears to hear and eyes to see, got ears to hear and eyes to see
Now, baby, believe me, I think we're better off

Off, off
Baby, believe me, I think we're better off
Off, off
Baby, believe me, I think we′re better off
