DEVIL IN THE DESERT ‘Just call me’ he sung ‘I’m your angel of morning sun, I’ve an embarrassment of riches These gift of flames Will lick your sinning bones immaculate’ I strayed there Unraptured Or lonely? A treasonous mind Chars the soul on its journey Funny how he didn’t like a single thing about me Then tagged along to teach me better manners, when to smile On dunes as warm as bedsheets His hands spoke eloquently Wrote such lies upon me Like ‘you’re handsome’ And he negged me like a nark Eyes empty like a sharks Empty as wind in the desert Lies told in the dark Seeding evil sparks and seeded in my heart My heart was burning up the desert ‘Everybody takes my hand’ Says the devil in the desert And he says ‘I’m a kindly man Let me show you to your treasures’ Go digging in his dirt And you’ll be digging there forever That’s what the devil in the desert What the devil in the desert Taught to me Devil devil devil devil I met the devil devil devil devil Met the devil devil devil Met the devil in the desert Devil devil devil You’re the devil devil devil You’re the devil devil devil He was were my devil in the desert His words were like silver, and I fell so deeply So deeply and lost in myself Was I lost for a minute or am I lost for all time Now he is looking at me with his pretty yellow eyes Don’t follow me Like a tumbleweed With your empty sighs And your evil mind Don’t follow me Mister Tumbleweed With your empty sighs And your evil mind Devil devil devil… You’re the devil
