lyrics

Speak Of The Devil

Speak of the devil and he shall appear
But whisper his name softly my dear
You never know who’s listening walls have ears
And there’s a long way to go before morning

The road is empty for this hour don’t you think it’s weird
Don’t look at me I don’t know how the hell to get out of here
Take over the wheel babe I don’t have the strength to steer
I’m bored if you wonder why I’m yawning

Its just ocean for miles around
So you better be a mermaid babe, I wouldn’t want to see you drown
Be quiet for a second and listen to the sound
Of everything colliding

Outside my window there’s a ruckus in the street
Pass me the telephone I’m calling the police
I can’t stand the silence that’s why I’m shuffling my feet
No one seems to be answering

I’m invoking a thunderstorm I’m dying in this heat
There are such things as unicorns and the moon is made of cheese
Just close the door quietly behind you when you leave
Somewhere children are sleeping

A crowd is gathering round
I’m naked except for this sceptre and this crown
Remind me the next time I see you around
To pinch myself in case I’m dreaming

There’s a flower in your hand and there is sand between your toes
There’s a woman and a man taking off their clothes
There’s a lost little lamb separated from the fold
And it’s all always constantly changing

Don’t let the bed bugs bite don’t let your heart get cold
There’s been nothing but the truth in every lie I’ve told
Just because I’m kneeling and my eyes are closed
Doesn’t mean I’m praying

So speak of the devil babe and he shall appear
But before you do consider whether you really want him here
He’s cruel and he’s mean and he knows no fear
And there’s a long way to go before morning
