Me And The Devil Lyrics by Moonkin

2018

(Gil Scott Heron - "The Vulture")
Standing in the ruins of another black man's life
Or flying through the valley seperating day and night
"I am DEATH," cried the vulture
"For the people of the light."
Charon brought his raft
From the sea that sails on souls
And saw the scavenger departing
Taking warm hearts to the cold
He knew the ghetto was a haven
For the meanest creature ever known
In a wilderness of heartbreak, and a desert of despair
Evil's clarion of justice shrieks a cry of naked terror
Taking babies from their mamas
And leaving grief beyond compare...
So if you see the Vulture coming
Flying circles in your mind
Remember, there is no escaping, for he will follow;
Close behind
Only promise me a battle -
A battle for your soul, and mind... And mind."
[Song starts]
Early this mornin'
When you knocked upon my door
Early this mornin'
When you knocked upon my door
And I said... "Hello Satan ! I...
I believe, it is time to go."
Me and the Devil
Walking side by side
Me and the Devil
Walking side by side
And I'm gonna see my woman
Until I get satisfied
Say. You don't see why
And you uh, dog me 'round...
See? don't see why, them people
They dogging me around ?!
T'must be that old evil spirit
So deep down in the ground...
You may bury my body
Down by the highway side
(Ion't care where you bury me.)
(When I'm gone - I'm gone.)
You may, bury my body
Down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit
Can a greyhound, bus that ride?
(Walking side by side)
So my old evil spirit
Could greyhound, wander around
(Walking side by side)
Side by side...
