Beth Orton - Devil Song lyrics
[Beth Orton - Devil Song lyrics]
When the devil comes blowing
Through your door
You'll know there's trouble and he's
Coming back for more
You better keep what is precious
Hidden under the floor
Or you better treat it so good
It will never want for more
But looking back in retrospect
Did you ever really get what you'd expect?
Trying to rectify got lost a little further
You've been trying to justify
Find out how and where it came
The devil was your angel
But it's not no more
The devil was your angel
When you weren't sure
Do I tempt trouble to break
Through all these doors
Just to put a face to
The voice which always home?
To fight for what is precious
To know what's under the floor
If I could treat it so good
I swear I'd never want for more
But when I found my peace
There was still mistakes
However painfully aware in every step I take
Trying to rectify got lost a little further
Well, I've been trying to justify
Find out how and where it came
The devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure
To travel as my angel
There's always my whore
Gonna take you back down
I won't feel no shame
Till my dreams are my own again
Gonna take you right down and
I'll take the blame
Till my dreams are my own own own again
Here I am again, again
Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure
To travel as my angel
There's always my whore
Maybe you're an angel
Tried to remember you're an angel
Remember you're an angel, if you're not sure
Through your door
You'll know there's trouble and he's
Coming back for more
You better keep what is precious
Hidden under the floor
Or you better treat it so good
It will never want for more
But looking back in retrospect
Did you ever really get what you'd expect?
Trying to rectify got lost a little further
You've been trying to justify
Find out how and where it came
The devil was your angel
But it's not no more
The devil was your angel
When you weren't sure
Do I tempt trouble to break
Through all these doors
Just to put a face to
The voice which always home?
To fight for what is precious
To know what's under the floor
If I could treat it so good
I swear I'd never want for more
But when I found my peace
There was still mistakes
However painfully aware in every step I take
Trying to rectify got lost a little further
Well, I've been trying to justify
Find out how and where it came
The devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure
To travel as my angel
There's always my whore
Gonna take you back down
I won't feel no shame
Till my dreams are my own again
Gonna take you right down and
I'll take the blame
Till my dreams are my own own own again
Here I am again, again
Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure
To travel as my angel
There's always my whore
Maybe you're an angel
Tried to remember you're an angel
Remember you're an angel, if you're not sure
