Like a spider creeping
Into my ear at night
The sleeping child is restless
Sweating out the fright
One step forward and another two back
I got a monkey on my shoulder
And a demon on my back and he ain't hiding
He's getting bolder
And colder
The Devil You Know
Goddamn boogieman
He'll eat at you slow baby
Oh yeah what an appetite
The Devil You Know
Goddamn Boogieman
He'll eat at you slow baby
Can't stop the motion when he's going...
Just inside you muscle
The waking world away
Beneath the skin you tremble
And ask your fears to stay
One step forward and another two back
I got a monkey on my shoulder
And a demon on my back and he ain't hiding
He's getting bolder
And colder
The Devil You Know
Goddamn boogieman
He'll eat at you slow baby
Oh yeah what an appetite
The Devil You Know
Goddamn Boogieman
He'll eat at you slow baby
Can't stop the motion when he's going...
So, this part you know
You cannot leave it
No matter what you've tried
Diablo, the Anti, a chip on your shoulder
Your father, a memory, a gross souvenir
A driveway, with cobbles and blood in the garden
Just wake up and let go, there's no more to fear
One step forward and another two back
I got a monkey on my shoulder
And a demon on my back and he ain't hiding
He's getting bolder
And colder
The Devil You Know
Goddamn boogieman
He'll eat at you slow baby
Oh yeah what an appetite
The Devil You Know
Goddamn Boogieman
He'll eat at you slow baby
Can't stop the motion when he's going...
