Devil Don't Sleep Songtext
von Mike Farris

Devil put a sign on the edge of town
Said, "Leave it up now before they lay you down"
They were standing in line as I was starting to leave
The men and the women and a couple of thieves
Now the moon is shining and the stars just high
I can′t miss that train when it blows through here tonight
Now the hills are howling and the river rise
And the devil don't sleep tonight

Move on up a little high
Save my soul from the burning fire
The good book is my temple, Holy Spirit′s my soul
And I won't rest until I see my Lord


The fox is in the henhouse and he's handing out keys
He′s a cool politician, set your mind at ease
He′s gonna lead them out the front door in the broad daylight
And you best believe he's eating chicken tonight
Now Mother Teresa outside begging for a dime
Says she needs it to fix up her busted spine
She says, "The burden is heavy but it suits me fine
Now give me what you got and I′ll tell you the time"

Move on up a little high
Save my soul from the burning fire
The good book is my temple, Holy Spirit's my soul
And I won′t rest until I see my Lord

Look out the valley, it's strangely quiet
It′s a cool misconception, I won't tell you no lies
If you look a little harder, listen, you'll find
There′s people screaming out their window for redemption tonight
Now the storms are raging out over the sea
The birds ain′t singing and the wolves won't eat
You better find high ground, child, before daylight
We might be crossing Jordan tonight

Move on up a little high
Save my soul from the burning fire
The good book is my temple, Holy Spirit′s my soul
And I won't rest until I see my Lord


Move on up a little high
Save my soul from the burning fire
The good book is my temple, Holy Spirit′s my soul
And I won't rest until I see my Lord
