The Devils Got His Place in Me

The tales of lies and all those things

We tought about those days

The certainty that judgment brings

And all those petty ways

The papers on the desk that day

The sun is coming soon

If I could force another smile

It'd probably be for you

So lay here baby, drink this wine

We've got music in our hearts

But the devil's got his place in me

And there's no color to his art

So I'll lay my head with spinning stars

And the poet's broken dream

And sip this poison while I dance to this off tempo beat

And I feel those broken in my heart

Their tears are like my own

I see the fields where blood is spilt

Where all good men turn to bone

And the torture of a thousand years of human story

The killing of the innocent while the wealthy sow their seeds

So lay here baby, drink this wine

We've got music in our hearts

But the devil's got his place in me

And I don't know where to start

So I'll lay my head with spinning stars

And the poet's broken dream

And sip this poison while I dance to this off tempo beat

And I'll fall asleep forevermore

My face will never show

I'll leave your house at 5 am

Kiss your cheek before I go

And I'll write down all those precious words that I could never say

Cos' the devil's got his place in me

And I'm meeting him today
