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
