‘Me and the Devil’ – alternative lyrics
sunset, I wake to
fingers ticking on my door
sunset, I wake to
your fingers ticking on my door
and I say ‘hello Madness,
I believe it’s time to go’
me and my demons
walking to the woods
me and my demons
walking you into the woods
and I’m gonna love you right
until I get satisfied
baby, I don’t see why
I can’t do as I please
no, I don’t see why
I can’t have you how I please
don’t you think hedonists like you
oughta practice what they preach?
I’m gonna forsake your body
where the sun don’t ever shine
they won’t ever find your body
in the pines, in the pines
and I’ll keep on walking
with your blood worn on my lips
me and my demons will be walking
with your blood worn on our lips
