Tv On The Radio - Let The Devil In lyrics

rate me

Beg the bee's forgiveness as it's falling from your sleeve

Watch its guts pump poison into sting

Watch it reach completeness, see it fall asleep

Legs above fold in eternal dream

Oh that calls to mind a joke, an off coloring

About these fools blindfolded, drugged, and raped and left laughing

They let the devil in, he brought his pirate friends

They brought a hunger for blood, and flesh and bone and skin

So teeth left chattering, and tongues flexed to sing

Got dressed up in so many fancy things

Is it a waste of time, please tell me if you mind

Me dipping into useless sentimentality

A rant on how things used to be when this shit was free

I answered my own question, I can hear the crickets yawning

But in the back pocket of a discarded pair of jeans

Is still a priceless ticket to the grandest opening

So when the chariot arrives, you'd best enjoy the ride

Cause when we get to heaven's gate, we're not getting inside

Better beg forgiveness

Better drop to knees

Better find your ticket

Before we join the bees
