Devil's Arms

[Hook x2] Said the devil got his arms around you In the spot where the love ain't found you It's so weak, but it's so dang powerful I'd pull you out, but I don't know how to [Verse 1] My daddy on that medicine I guess the demons are dancing in his head again Many women tried to breeze through and rescue him What they all seem to see Trying to get a thin screen between you and your agony Strangling your anger 'til it settles at apathy Have you seeing scenes that nobody should have to see Shadowy screams of your own humanity I feel the melancholy moan of a troubled soul That somehow could never know that it weren't alone If he took a swig of gin, it would always grip him in And he'd sink until he drowned in that undertow Till the day he sat and scribbled out that rugged note Said "everything I ever touched, it went up in smoke." Apologized to his woman, didn't know her heart Doesn't love any less pure just because it's broke [Hook] [Verse 2] You better tell them you love them and make them believe you Get between your people and that needle before they leave you Tell them something when you look them in the eye Before you can't say nothing but goodbye [Outro] Said the devil got his arms around you
