God on Drums, Devil on the Bass Lyrics by Katie Melua

The House

2010

[Chorus]
Got God on the drums and the Devil on the bass
If you wanna dance, you better find a space
Between the horns and the angel face
Is this the night you're gonna fall from grace
With God on the drums and the Devil on the bass
With God on the drums and the Devil on the bass
[Verse 1]
No one cares in this raging town
They can build you up or drag you down
Nothing's wrong or right, black or white
They're all trying to start a fight between
[Chorus]
God on the drums and the Devil on the bass
If you wanna dance, you better find a space
Between the horns and the angel face
Is this the night you're gonna fall from grace
With God on the drums and the Devil on the bass
With God on the drums and the Devil on the bass
[Verse 2]
This constant beat that you cannot hear
'Cause it hasn't changed for a thousand years
And you can hear this song, my friend
But it never began and it will never end
[Chorus]
With God on the drums and the Devil on the bass
If you wanna dance, you better find a space
Between the horns and the angel face
Is this the night you're gonna fall from grace
With God on the drums and the Devil on the bass
[Bridge]
Some people lie for a living
Some people stoop so low
Some make a thing of forgiving
Well, they don't care, 'cause they don't know that
[Chorus]
God's on the drums and the Devil's on the bass
If you wanna dance, you better find a space
Between the horns and the angel face
Is this the night you're gonna fall from grace
With God on the drums and the Devil on the bass
With God on the drums and the Devil on the bass
And the Devil on the bass and the Devil on the bass
[Outro]
And the Devil on the bass and the Devil on the bass
And the Devil on the bass and the Devil on the bass...
