Jeff Buckley - Demon John lyrics
[Jeff Buckley - Demon John lyrics]
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
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
