Spoon - The Devil & Mister Jones lyrics

How did it happen?
How did it get this far?
How did it ever start?
And do you feel the same?
Mister Jones
He drive on empty yeah
Mister Jones
Don't he drive it down?

There's juju raining down
All around you, yeah
Makes you heavy mental
It makes you tense
Hear his name spoken
In every room

Everybody saving up
For what he is selling
Mister Jones
Oh, every mark is looking out for
What he is selling
What he is selling
Mister Jonеs

He'll tell your mother
That shе can sing again
And he will sell her
His only melody
And yesterday
He made a blind man see yeah
And then tomorrow
He'll take back everything

Careful standing by him
He'll lock in for good
Set you aside for later
And won't forget
Now he got you working
Throwing dice his way

Everybody saving up
For what he is selling
Mister Jones
He got the bags you can carry
Yourself to hell in
Oh, yourself to hell in

Mm, yeah

There's juju coming down
All around you, yeah
Makes you heavy mental
It makes you tense
Hear his name
It's spoken in every room

Everybody's saving up
For what he is selling
Mister Jones
Oh, every mark's saving up
For what he is selling
What he is selling

Mmm, this world is fragile
We're aware
Quite acutely
And I know all he wants
A chance to prove it
Absolutely
Mister Jones
