about

It's the good demons that stay with us. They join you for drinks at a corner bar. There's a small stage, with a pole in the middle of it.

lyrics

Devil

I rang up my friend, Jay. It had been a while.
The topic was a sigh and a wistful smile
About an article I read that said, “The Devil was dead.”
He said, “The Devil still lives on in your heart.”

“You can do your level best,” is what he said to me.
“You can do your very best, and you can count on me
to put my best foot forward, and do more than my part.
The Devil still lives on in your heart.”

Well, the Romans never tore The Coliseum down
And an earthquake never wiped away this tourist town
You can wear a lucky charm in the crook of your arm
The Devil still lives on in your heart

I’d be wrong to tell you that he’ll make you rich
But keep him near your side, that hip-hat, punk-ass
Son of a bitch.

You can do your level best. That’s a true, true story
When they come like all the rest to steal his glory
Disassemble his house, tear his hideout apart
The Devil still lives on in your heart

Now all the Jesus-people hate me, but they shouldn’t dare
The Bible says they’ve gotta love me and there’s some comfort there
The angels will protect you if you need ‘em to
When it’s late and your retired, but you want to be inspired
I know his reputation leaves a lot to be desired
But the Devil still lives on, the Devil will live on, the Devil still lives on
In your heart.
