Demon John Lyrics

So farewell

Night sunny Jim
And your defenseless winning smile
What do you hope to win
When bliss lays down defended?
Oh, Lord, it′s time to rejoice

In a little town the boy cannot belong
Well, why did you come here?
Is it to excavate all your sins?
Boy within
Slaughtered like the daughter the devil sent me
I have to deal, you called me here

You couldn't say that you were juiced
The night that you were introduced to Demon John
Oh no
You′re gonna take him with you when you go
Fells down slow
All the way down

You cannot escape the bar side angel dissector
You run through your life with too much cocoon
Who's your protector?
Dark as a sitter when the white girls run by
Down below we rise just like fireflies
You called me here, come on here
Follow me dear
Past cascades of rage and fear
You called me here

You couldn't say that you had been juiced
The time that you were introduced to Demon John
Yeah, you knew you had to want to go
Fells down slow

By the light of the sun
Murder comes
Day or tonight
Better get yourself together
And transcend it
Amongst the light
Blaze lies into me
The wrong breaks through here right now
So murder by the light of the sun
Please, don′t get too close to me

You said you weren′t for real, it's not pretend

All memory is stolen, know this for yourself

How′d you like to be the happiest man in the world?
The white and withered field hands
Those blistered paws harvest cotton
For wedding clothes they'll never wear
Marching down a road that was never there
It takes place in a sunlit face
And a backbone broken
Please bring us down
Please
Demon John

Take you, Demon John
Take him with you

When you go
