Woke Up the Devil
When I woke up the Devil I was fast asleep When I woke up the Devil I was in too deep When I woke up the Devil I was on my own Building palaces Out of teeth and bones Well I woke up the Devil inside And I woke up the Devil I knew Running with the Devil That you know And then up jumps the Devil Running with the Devil That you know And then up jumps the Devil Everyone’s a Devil! Well I've been around the world And I have been around the basement And I've been around the block All over town I can't stand Holding hands with the Devil Because the Devil Never lets you go I can't stand Holding hands with the Devil I know Found the Devil in the ground Better take a look around Found the Devil in the ground Don't you try to make a sound When you see the Devil's back When you see the Devil's back When you see the Devil's back Get on it, get on it When you see the Devil's back When you see the Devil's back When you see the Devil's back Get on it, get on it When I woke up the Devil Was on my chest Telling me that I was Truly blessed When I woke up the Devil Was on TV Selling me the fruit Of the second tree Everyone’s a Devil! Well I woke up the Devil inside And I woke up the Devil I knew Well I woke up the Devil inside And I woke up the Devil I knew Running with the Devil That you know Up jumps the Devil Afraid of the Rainbow I used to be so afraid of the rainbow Because you never know Where it will it’s gonna end I used to be so afraid of the rainbow Because you never know Where it will it’s going to end You run over the hill and Under the rainbow The pot of gold is just Around the bend But you’re over the hill And under the rainbow And you will never guess How it's going to end Losing your mind Cause you’re not gonna find The gold And you'll be Losing your mind Cause you’re not gonna find The gold You're always Losing your mind Cause you’re not gonna find The gold I’m gonna dig that hole Until I reach the top top top I’m gonna dig that hole Until I reach the top top top I used to be so afraid of the rainbow Because you never know Where it will it’s going to end I used to be so afraid of the rainbow Because you never know Where it will it’s going to end Losing your mind Not gonna find The gold Pure of Heart Behold the icy cold And filthy streets Are paved with gold And teeth and bones Behold the icy cold And filthy streets Are paved with gold And teeth and bones And blood and stone Behold the icy cold And filthy streets Are paved with gold And teeth and bones And blood and stone And you You Here we are You better watch your step Here we are You ain’t seen nothin' yet Here we stand You better watch your back Here we stand The enemy attack It’s not hard It’s not soft It’s not runny No no no It’s not enough It’s not upon us It’s not upon us It’s not upon us Anymore Here they are Beware the pure of heart Here they are They can’t be held apart Beware it’s getting dark Beware the pure of heart Behold the icy cold And filthy streets Are paved with gold And teeth and bones Behold the icy cold And filthy streets Are paved with gold And teeth and bones And blood and stone Behold the icy cold And filthy streets Are paved with gold And teeth and bones And blood and stone And you You You You You |
