lyrics

Before The Devil Knows You're Gone

You've been living hard for days
even though you're getting on
you pray that you get to heaven
before the devil knows you're gone
spend all your waking hours
making friends that you won't know
when someone tells them who you are
they'll tell you where to go

(chorus)
Pray you'll get to heaven before the devil knows you're gone
Pray you'll get to heaven before the devil knows you're gone.

Rumors follow you and down the spines of everyone you've met
the walls they've built with their vibes constitute some kind of threat
but you look for charm in harm trying to drown the pain of silly lies you know
knowing if you told them who you are
they would tell you where to go.

(chorus)

In the checkout aisles you smile while the people turn away
no one ever asks to hear your voice for fear of what you'll say
the children run for higher ground even the blind can tell you're there
silence falls in every place you go
there's a feeling in the air.

(chorus)

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
