Devil In The Eye

(álbum: Driving To Damascus - 1999)

Take a little care when you put your lips
To her long cool neck
One kiss will be too much, a hundred not enough
Treat her with respect

If I could tell this to you would you believe it was true
You might just laugh I expect
And say you feel sophisticated
Confident and ready for the next

Has no time for modesty,
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
Will spell you with her lies

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
We'll look the devil in the eye

You'll be the class fool, a perfect asshole
You'll be the guy in control
And make decisions based on derision
And wake up deep in a hole

Wishing the ground would open beneath you
Enough to swallow you whole
So you don't have to face the wreckage
You left scattered from the night before

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
Will spell you with her lies

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
We'll look the devil in the eye

You will be dazzled by the pictures she will paint
Colours she will bring
And feel so safe and warm, far away from harm
Wrapped up in her wings

And slowly drift through the day, letting it all slip away
Without a care in the world
And wake up in a cold sweat
Screaming for her touch to ease your troubled soul

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
Will spell you with her lies

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
We'll look the devil in the eye

We'll look the devil in the eye
