lyrics

when i wake up i feel it crawling through my hair
i think that the devil put it there
all my friends say that i shouldn't care
i think that the devil put me here
breathing smoke & then i'm sweating on the stairs
i think that the devil put them there
i walk up behind but i don't stare
i think that the devil put you there

but i am not the famous imitator
wait-till-later/see-if-we-can-make-it
kind of man
so if there's something better, good
i think i can forget her leaving one more time
if it's the last
but i know it's not

am i dreaming of her when i wake up scared?
i think that the devil put her there
all the things i swore i'd never share
i think that the devil put them there
in september when the sunlight isn't there
i know that the devil combs her hair
i know that the devil says her prayers
i know that the devil doesn't care

but i am not the famous imitator
wait-till-later/see-if-we-can-make-it
kind of man
so if there's something better, good
i think i can forget her leaving one more time
if it's the last
but i know it's not
