BETH ORTON lyrics : "Devil Song"

When the devil comes blowing through your door
You'll know there's trouble
And he's coming back for more

You better keep what is precious
Hidden under the floor
Or you better treat it so good

It will never want for more

But looking back in retrospect

Did you ever really get what you'd expect?
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further

Well, you've been trying to justify
Find out how and from where it came


Devil was your angel
But it's not no more
The devil was your angel

When you weren't sure

Do I tempt trouble to break through all these doors

Just to put a face to the voice which always haunts?
To fight for what is precious, to know what's under the floor
If I could treat it so good I swear I'd never want for more


When I found my peace
There were still mistakes

However painfully your wearing every step I take
Trying to rectify
Got lost a little further

Well, I've been trying to justify
Find out how and from where it came


The devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure.
To travel as my angel there's always my !@^% (?)


Gonna take it back down
And I won't feel no shame
Till my dreams are my own again

Gonna take it right down
And I'll take the blame
Till my dreams are my own again

Here I am again

The devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure

To travel as my angel there's always my !@^% (?)
(To trouble is my angel, there's always more)
Maybe you're an angel

Try to remember you're an angel
Remember you're an angel
If you're not sure
