Devil Lyrics by Paper Bird (AUT)

Thaumatrope

2009

[Verse 1]
In the dark, there's a hole
Where the rabbits go no more
There's a path to a room
Where a black cradle waits for you
And I cut your hair last night
I found the birthmark that you hide
That spells out the number of
The number of, the number of the beast
[Verse 2]
This is an omen, I'm sure
For darkness there can be no cure
Now I can put my
Finger on the patch of sky
That seems to be hanging over our heads
That sends hailstorms down on our bed
And I look up and wait for lightning
For lightning, for lightning to strike
[Chorus]
And I performed exorcisms
With alcohol and violent kisses
But the exchange of despair
My fingers tangled up in your hair
Won't keep the devil, the devil, the devil at bay
[Verse 3]
This is an invasion of body snatchers
They replaced me with a box of matches
Now I run red-headed through life
Prepared to burn down
We'll meet on our tricycles in the hall
To race down the corridors of our downfall
No glowing Christian crosses could make this
A movie our grandmothers would watch
[Chorus]
And I performed exorcisms
With alcohol and violent kisses
But the exchange of despair
My fingers tangled up in your hair
Won't keep the devil, the devil, the devil
And I performed exorcisms
With alcohol and violent kisses
But the exchange of despair
My fingers tangled up in your hair
Won't keep the devil, the devil, the devil at bay
And I performed exorcisms
With alcohol and violent kisses
But the exchange of despair
My fingers tangled up in your hair
Won't keep the devil, the devil, the devil at bay
