The Devil's Crayon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This truly is
The Devil's crayon
tracing your shoulderblades
aglow like rayon
This truly is the Devil's crayon
that all his children can use to draw
and we are so many tiny pieces
We are so many tiny pieces
This truly is
The Devil's answer
carved from the tongue
of this romancer
This truly is the Devil's answer
that all his children use to kiss
and we are so many clambering hands
We are so many clambering hands
the way you say her name
I want mine said the same, devil
devildevildevil
the way you say her name I want mine said the same
devil
This truly is the Devil's shoulder
your arm draped around
ten times over
This truly is the Devil's shoulder
that all his children will use to throw their loads, their loads on you
to throw their loads on you
And we are so much moulded dough
We are so much moulded dough
Used to throw their loads on you
Used to throw their loads on you
