Say farewell
|
G'night, Sonny-Jim
|
In your defenseless
|
Winning smile
|
What do you hope to win?
|
And bliss face down, defended
|
|
Well, now stoned Demon John
|
There's no town the boy cannot belong
|
Why did you come here?
|
Is it to excavate all your sins?
|
Boil within?
|
Slaughter like the daughter of the devil you send me
|
I have to deal, you called me here
|
|
You couldn't say that you were juiced
|
The night that you were introduced
|
To Demon John
|
Gonna take him with you when you go?
|
Dance down slow
|
Oh, way down
|
|
You cannot escape the bar-side angel dissector
|
You undo your life with too much cocoon
|
Who's your protector?
|
Dark is the city where the white girls walk by
|
Down below your eyes, just like fireflies
|
You call me here, come on here, follow me dear
|
Past cascades of rage and fear
|
You called me here
|
|
You couldn't say that you had been juiced
|
The time that you were introduced
|
To Demon John
|
Well, you knew you had to want to go
|
Dance down slow
|
By the light of the sun
|
Murder comes
|
Today or tonight
|
Better get yourself together
|
And transcend it, a burst of light
|
Blaze stars into me
|
While the love breaks through here and now
|
So, murder by the light of the sun
|
|
Please, don't get too close to me
|
You said you are for real, it's not pretend
|
All memories stolen, know this for yourself
|
How would you like to be the happiest man in the world?
|
Behind the weathered field hands
|
Whose blistered paws Harvest cut
|
For wedding clothes they'll never wear
|
Marching down a road that was never there
|
It takes place on a sunlit lace and the backbone broken
|
Please bring us light
|
Demon John
|
You Demon John
|
Take him with you
|
When you go.
|
