So I'm sittin here with ghosts again some are women mostly men
Telling me of times they have had
And I'm fantasizing about a hole in the ground
How and where I'm gonna lay myself down and still die at 27 like we planned
Then she saw the look in my eyes
And began to sing a song I won't describe
"In another life we'll be king and queen you and I"
Then she told me devil don't cry
Devil don't cry, don't cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But "god needs an enemy and I need a guy"
And she told me devil don't cry
At least not tonight
And I'm sitting alone again
All my friends are with their friends
Thinking of times I have had
And I'm fantasizing about a hole in the ground
How and where I'm gonna lay myself down and I find a knife in my hand
Then she saw the look in my eyes
And began to sing a song I won't describe
"In another life we'll be king and queen you and I"
Then she told me devil don't cry
Devil don't cry, don't cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But "god needs an enemy and I need a guy"
And she told me devil don't cry
Devil don't cry, don't cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But "god needs an enemy and I need a guy"
And she told me devil don't cry
At least not tonight
Tonight let's pretend I'm a man
And you're a woman and we're human just bones and this skin
And I'll pretend that your touch makes everything right
If you pretend you're not nervous that I've taken lives
Devil don't cry, don't cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But "god needs an enemy and I need a guy"
And she told me devil don't cry
And she told me devil don't cry
And she told me devil don't cry...
