The Devil Never Sleeps

Songs Title：the devil never sleeps

Dreaming again of a train track ending at the edge of the sea

Big black cloud was low and rolling our way

Dog at the barbed wire barking at my buzz-cut friends

Friend with a switch blade shining in the summer rain

No one on the corner had a quarter for the telephone

Everybody bitching there's nothing on the radio

Dreaming again of a city full of fathers and their white clothes

Chattering boys and a chicken at the chopping block

All of us lost at the crosswalk waiting for the other to go

Didn't find the field but boy you're really waterlogged

Someone bet a dollar that their daddy wasn't coming home

Everybody bitching there's nothing on the radio

Dreaming again that it's freezing and my mother's in a flower bed

Long dead rows of daffodils and marigolds

Changing her face like a shadow on the ground

This is what

No one lives forever and the devil never sleeps alone

Everybody bitching there's nothing on the radio
