"Devil Inside Me" lyrics

"Devil Inside Me"

Come try to find me
Don't ever wake me
Stay close by me
Don't ever lie to me
You don't say a word
You look straight at me
That's all I need now, the Devil's inside me

All that I could be
Is all that I'll never be
Obsessed with this journey
Of houses and money
With nothing to play for
Where no one looks at me
That's all I need now the Devil's inside me

Hello? Yes? I'm not too sure who I'm meant to be
Did you want the priest or the adversary?
I'd blow your mind when I'm up high, to fall back down again
It's true, you, remember we met at the old Goose Fayre
I hate to admit that I was never there
But I'd blow your mind, when I'm up high, to fall back down again
Up high, to fall back down again

All that I could be
Is all that I'll never be
Obsessed with this journey
Of houses and money
With nothing to play for
Where no one looks at me
That's all I need now the Devil's inside me

Hello? Yes? I'm not too sure who I'm meant to be
Did you want the priest or the adversary?
I'd blow your mind when I'm up high, to fall back down again
It's true, you, remember we met at the old Goose Fayre
I hate to admit that I was never there
But I'd blow your mind, when I'm up high, to fall back down again
Up high, to fall back down again

Swing low, and look straight at me
That's all I need now, the Devil's inside me
