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 whore

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 whore

(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
