Dance On Your Bones

Devil comes out at night
Looking for some young bones
to do his work
Maybe you could steal and try
Sticking needles in your arm in the park
Hey, kids, where's the gun?
Where's the old fun?
Hey, kids, where's your gun?
Who's going to have this fun?
Devil blows his wind down my road
Looking for some fragile minds
Maybe I could still get loose
Maybe we could dance to get loose
Hey kids where's your guns?
Don't you have no fun?
He said, "Hey, kid, pick up the gun
Don't you like this one?"
He said, "Hey, kid, pick up the gun
Don't you want a little fun?"
Devil blows cold down my road
Looking for some young bones for his work
You don't work, you can't eat
Devil's gonna dance on your bones, on your bones...
Hey, kids, where's your guns?
Don't you like this one?
Devil blows cold down my road
You don't work, you can't eat
Hey, kids, buy some more
Hey, kids, buy some guns
The Devil blows
The Devil blows
