Greebly Mork - The Devil In The Darkness Lyrics

Mama, help me over to the window, wanna get a look at the sun
I need that light to warm my chills and I'm feelin like I'm just about done
I got no words, no rebuttal to a world that told me the devil was a lying in my ear
So be a good woman and bring me my red cap and fetcha my gun!

I had rath and pride and envy and most of them mortal sins
But I'm not perfect and I never was, and that's where the trouble begins
One by one I did away with options and danced like tomorrow won't come
And now it's here and I'm unprepared to see how this story ends!

Well it seems like the devil been dancing in the moonlight
I can't trust him, look at him run
Seems like the devils been dancing in my darkness
Them bastards don't know nothing

I've been fed lies, don't believe your eyes, ratcheting the rhetoric, good turns bad
Fantasy, history, it isn't any mystery Doc turns an ignorant, angry crowd mad
The gin soaked the gun stoked, the lovely little good folk rail at a thief
Like it's true belief, But a thief can't steal what they never had

Well you've been courting the devil in the moonlight
Well you've been courting the devil in the darkness

Now, Doc, he knows that where he goes he will lead and folks will follow
It is said there is no thread or line too fake for you to swallow
He will repeat who will not learn
And the greatest feat Doc ever pulled
Was making you think these words ring hollow

Well you've been courting the devil in the moonlight
Right there in front of you
You've been dancing with the devil in the darkness
See how they run from the truth
