Sidewalk Devil

He wants to have power, but he’s already got it When he walks down the sidewalk without me He wants to have freedom, but he’s already seen it When he goes down this road unalarmed He don’t know how the devil comes Right out under the midday sun How he hungers for a way to make control How he’d throw my body down How I’ll never make a sound He’s waiting around the corner And I’m waiting for a change, oh baby, yeah I’m waiting for a change, oh baby it’s not fair That I gotta fight this fear, always Oh, my lover, how I have grown to trust him He takes my hand and I stop defending He holds my heaviness, but only when I let him And he walks me down this road unharmed He don’t know how the devil’s eyes Sever and satisfy, how they’re waiting for a night When he’s not there How they’d throw my body down How I’ll never make a sound, oh He’s waiting around the corner I’m waiting for a change, oh baby yeah I’m praying for a change, oh baby It’s not fair that I gotta fight this fear, always
