devil don't cry

So I'm sitting here with ghosts

Again some are women mostly men

Telling me of times they have had

And I'm fantasizing about a hole in the ground

How and where I'm gonna lay myself down

And still die at 27 like we planned

Then she saw the look in my eyes

And began to sing a song I won't describe

In another life we'll be king and queen you and I

Then she told me devil don't cry

Devil don't cry don't cry

I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die

But God needs an enemy and I need a guy

And she told me devil don't cry

At least not tonight

And I'm sitting alone again

All my friends are with their friends

Thinking of times I have had

And I'm fantasizing about a hole in the ground

How and where I'm gonna lay myself down

And I find a knife in my hand

Then she saw the look in my eyes

And began to sing a song I won't describe

In another life we'll be king and queen you and I

Then she told me devil don't cry

Devil don't cry don't cry

I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die

But God needs an enemy and I need a guy

And she told me devil don't cry

Devil don't cry don't cry

I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die

But God needs an enemy and I need a guy

And she told me devil don't cry

At least not tonight

Tonight let's pretend I'm a man

And you're a woman and we're human

Just bones and this skin

And I'll pretend that your touch makes everything right

If you pretend you're not nervous that I've taken lives

Devil don't cry don't cry

I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die

But God needs an enemy and I need a guy

And she told me devil don't cry

And she told me devil don't cry

And she told me devil don't cry
