Jonah Tolchin - Mr. Devil lyrics

rate me

My clothes are a mess upon the floor

My thoughts keep me from moving to the door

I am weak and I am selfish and lord I just can't help it

Because my mind don't stay here anymore

I once remembered how to move a long

and tap my feet to a happy-hearted song

But I am the sick experiment of a crazy-hearted instrument

that's played me out and sent me back to where I belong

Chorus:

Mr. Devil take me down, down, down for a while

Mr. Doctor, let me go, let me go, for I am wild

Me and my Darling, we will run, run, run, towards the light

But I am a puppet I am evil, I’m primal hungry demon,

and I'm always pulled back to the night.

If you let me I will jump into your arms

but just know that I am a burden full of charms

I am yours, forever dreaming not always here but never

Leaving, and I only wish you can forgive my numbered wrongs

I am a shifter changing form but never heart

I am the fool who never acts but I play all the parts

I am a werewolf, I'm a vampire, and I'll never tell you no lies

I'll just love you like the full moon through the dark

Chorus

So you see that I'm a troubled man

but you make me so much better than I am

And as we travel through the seasons roam the land

committing treason we’ll go crazy together hand in hand

Shifting shapes and reasons to go on

the wickedness of my heart's now dead-gone

But like a ghost will be returning so for now we'll keep it burning

Let the wheels roll the show must carry on!
