Demon

(álbum: Boot Power - 1972)

There's been a whole lot of trouble in the place where I've been
It's bothered the king and it's upset the queen
The knaves have been playing with the princesses' maid
The jester's been running 'round the courtyard again.

And I've been crying, someone's lying
I'm relying on my mind
I'm not forgiving, I've stopped living
There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped
Because it's got everyone on the run.

The owls are all hooting and no one can sleep
The shepherds are worrying 'cause they're losing their sheep
The soldiers are marching with their steel sticks of war
People are running and they can't take no more

And I've been crying, someone's lying
I'm relying on my mind
I'm not forgiving, I've stopped living
There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped
Because it's got everyone on the run.

The icebox is steaming, the oven is cold
The moon's turned yellow, the sun's turned to stone
The windmill's stopped turning, the flowers won't grow
The taps have stopped running and the clocks have gone slow.

And I've been crying, someone's lying
I'm relying on my mind
I'm not forgiving, I've stopped living
There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped
Because it's got everyone on the run.

Ohhh …

The icebox is steaming, the oven is cold
The moon's turned yellow, the sun's turned to stone
The windmill's stopped turning, the flowers won't grow
The taps have stopped running and the clocks have gone slow.

And I've been crying, someone's lying
I'm relying on my mind
I'm not forgiving, I've stopped living
There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped
Because it's got everyone on the run.
