Paper Bird - Devil lyrics

In the dark, there's a hole
Where the rabbit's go no more
There's a path to a room
Where a black cradle wait's 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

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

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

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

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
