The Devil and the Poorboy Lyrics by Jane Ehrhardt

Songs From The Trajectory

0

This is a story best told backwards
Far from the city now
Far from the stage

Oh , they finally found a place to hide out in
And avoid the greatest mistake they almost made
In this story many things were made improperly
Their leaky faucets running down clogged drains
And they danced to the hum of the electrical appliances
And started drinking to remember to forget their days
Started drinking to remember to forget...

The mind is an easy target
When the heart is a tricky prize to win
They fought and they fought "til the war got started
And then loved each other right to the end

So may they marry under the stars that misguided
Her troubled head into his broken arms
And may the devil and the poorboy be invited
And we'll raise our glasses and sing this song
We'll raise our glasses and sing...

We can hide here for many days
And sleep for many nights...
