Devil's Pay Songtext
von Tea Leaf Green

The whorehouse is burning like the devil′s come to claim it
Get them girls out quickly before the devil gets his payment
Don't let the devil get his payment
Don′t let the devil get his payment
They tried all night to put that fire out
Using themselves like they've never done it before
Like they've never done it before
Like they′ve never done it before
And by the strike of four the house had been consumed
The burnt bodies they found died clutching fake jewels
They died clutching fake jewels Died clutching fake jewels
So the sailors hauled up trailers beside them smoking ashes
Donated some blankets, fixed up a box spring mattress
Fixed up a box spring mattress
Fixed up a box spring mattress
And like the phoenix rising
There was one girl surviving
They put her in that trailer
And they kept her business running
They kept her business running
They kept her business running


Yes, that whorehouse is burning
Like the devil′s company claiming
Get them girls out quickly
Before the devil gets his payment
Don't let the devil get his payment
Don′t let the devil get his pay
Don't let the devil get his pay
Don′t let the devil get
