"Satan Pulls The Strings" lyrics

Swept Away Original Broadway Cast & The Avett Brothers Lyrics

"Satan Pulls The Strings"
(feat. John Gallagher Jr.)
(from "Swept Away" soundtrack)

Baby's in the cradle
Mama's in the bed
Sparrows on the window sill
And the devil's in my head

The devil's in my head, mama
The devil's in my head
Baby's in the cradle
And the devil's in my head

Baby's in the cradle
Mama's in the bed
Sparrows on the window sill
And the devil's in my head

Devil's in my head, mama
The devil's in my head
Baby's in the cradle
And the devil's in my head

Winter yields to summertime
The whip-poor-will, she sings
My heart is in the puppet box
And Satan pulls the strings

Satan pulls the strings, mama
Satan pulls the strings
My heart is in the puppet box
And Satan pulls the strings

Oh...

Mama's cooking something up
Serve it to us all
Satan's ringing in now
And I gotta take the call
Gotta take the call, boys
Gotta take the call
Satan's ringing in now
And I gotta take the call

Baby's in the cradle
(Baby's in the cradle)
Mama's in the bed
(Mama's in the bed)
Sparrows on the window sill
And the devil's in my head
(Devil's in my head)

Devil's in my head, mama
The devil's in my head
Baby's in the cradle
And the devil's in my head
