“Demons” is the second track on Guster’s second album Goldfly. It is the song the band has performed most from the album, as well as out of all of the songs in their repertoire.

[Verse 1: Adam Gardner/Gardner & Ryan Miller]
My words confuse you
My eyes don't move or blink
'Cause it's easier sometimes
Not to be sincere
Somehow I make you believe
Believe
[Chorus: Ryan Miller]
When I speak I'll cross my fingers
Will you know you've been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
[Verse 2: Adam Gardner/Gardner & Ryan Miller]
Honest is easy
Fiction's where genius lies
'Cause it's easier sometimes
Not to be involved
Somehow I make you believe
Believe
[Chorus: Ryan Miller]
When I speak I'll cross my fingers
Will you know you've been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
[Chorus: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]
When I speak I'll cross my fingers
Will you know you've been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
[Chorus: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]
When I speak I'll cross my fingers
Will you know you've been deceived?
I find a need to be the demon
A demon cannot be hurt
