Madeline Lyrics by Deep Chatham

Words from the Well

2011

[Verse 1]
Bookin‘ ‘round the corner, she was running for her life
And as she cleared into the trees, they followed after
She ran until the moon came up and the trees all turned to ghosts
And never stopped until she saw the tainted water

[Chorus]
Madeline!
Dance the Devil through the night
Sing a song that starts a fire
Start to dance, start to holler
Start to hear the dark side callin‘
Madeline!
Dance the devil through the night
Whеn the moon burns out and morning comes
She’s back out on thе run
They won’t find her

[Verse 2]
She wanders to a town where open roads go up and down
She’d never seen so many mountains take the skyline
People there all smiled, no one laughed and no one cried
She felt it pouring and shared her tainted water

[Chorus]
Madeline!
Dance the Devil through the night
Sing a song that starts a fire
Start to dance, start to holler
Start to hear the dark side callin‘
Madeline!
Dance the devil through the night
When the moon burns out and morning comes
She’s back out on the run
They won’t find her

[Verse 3]
Stealin‘ people blind, through one city at a time
You know the travelin‘ kinda keeps her wheels a-rollin‘
Eight days a week, different name, a different face, a different street
Don’t get entangled, she’ll get her roots a-growin‘

[Chorus]
Madeline!
Dance the Devil through the night
Sing a song that starts a fire
Start to dance, start to holler
Start to hear the dark side callin‘
Madeline!
Dance the devil through the night
When the moon burns out and morning comes
She’s back out on the run
They won’t find her
