Devil In The Eye Lyrics by Big Country

Rarities VII: Damascus Sessions

0

Take a little care
When you put your lips
To her long cool neck
One kiss will be too much
A hundred not enough
Treat her with respect
If I could tell this to you
Would you believe it was true
You might just laugh I expect
And say you feel sophisticated
Confident and ready for the next
Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
Will spell you with her lies
Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
We'll look the devil in the eye
You'll be the class fool
A perfect asshole
You'll be the guy in control
And make decisions
Based on derision
And wake up deep in a hole
Wishing the ground would
Open beneath you
Enough to swallow you whole
So you don't have to face the wreckage
You left scattered from the night before
Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
Will spell you with her lies
Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
We'll look the devil in the eye
You will be dazzled by
The pictures she will paint
Colours she will bring
And feel so safe and warm
Far away from harm
Wrapped up in her wings
And slowly drift through the day
Letting it all slip away
Without a care in the world
And wake up in a cold sweat
Screaming for her touch to ease your troubled soul
Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
Will spell you with her lies
Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
We'll look the devil in the eye
We'll look the devil in the eye
