Devil plays whisper down the lane
Jump, drown, crawl or don’t remain
Meanwhile back in my own brain
I’m eating grass and drinking the ocean

Devil makes everyone the same
Reciting verse from books of Cain
Meanwhile back in my own brain
I’m flying without wings in motion

Devil’s play is always work
Recruiting souls who love to hurt
Meanwhile the last me becomes first
A subtle, strong and strange old notion

Devil’s roots are in the dirt
Making all our dreams inert
Meanwhile my heavy heart it burns
A side effect of earthly potions

Devil has gardens full of weeds
Where one plus one equals three
Meanwhile I’m down on my knees
Suffering the world for my devotion
