The seventeen devils in Hector's closet Are slowly untied by his sister Margeret A promise she aimed at a dusty target The first ten fled through the back porch window Four of them flew over her head Still the three had All he ever wanted was the key to everything A solemn memory In fallen batteries There wasn't much to tell her till he gave up everything A heart so slippery Love slides away But the three devils left in Hector's closet The burning man claims on the east apartment His sister would change when the man insisted But then two more fled through the back porch window Clapping on their silvery way That's when all Hector said All he ever wanted was the key to everything A solemn memory In fallen batteries There wasn't much to tell her till he gave up everything A heart so slippery Love slides away Then the last one fled through the back porch window Clapping on his silvery All the words decayed All his dreams became broken up All he ever wanted was the key to everything A solemn memory In fallen batteries There wasn't much to tell her till he gave up everything A heart so slippery But love finds a way
