Lyrics

Swear to God the Devil Made Me Do It

[Verse 1]

Space-age crystals

I've been growing 'em since I was a kid

Like my mother plays the lottery

'Til I get rich some other way, or she wins it

[Pre-Chorus]

And there is someone out there just like me

Probably keeping to themselves

[Chorus]

I know CPR, I know mouth-to-mouth

When your legs give in and your lungs give out

I will blow air into your open mouth

Baby, I can spit this game all day

[Verse 2]

I swear to God, the Devil made me do it

It's a shame the bad habits are the hardest ones to break

Our love's a dangerous, dangerous game

One that I am definitely losing, cannot walk away

[Pre-Chorus]

And there is someone out there just like me

Probably keeping to themselves

[Chorus]

I know CPR, I know mouth-to-mouth

When your legs give in and your lungs give out

I will blow air into your open mouth

Baby, I can spit this game all day

[Bridge]

I wanna make tear-jerking, shower-curtain

Cameras-running genius

I wanna make them think they're seeing something

They ain't ever seen before

But I am full of shit, I'm a plagiarist

As a liar, I'm a ten

I just want this to mean something to anyone

Even if they don't know who I am

I am, I am, I am

[Outro]

But I know CPR

I know mouth-to-mouth

When your legs give in and your lungs give out

I will blow air into your open mouth

I know CPR

Space-age crystals
