Devil

Yeah the devil dropped by last night
Reminded me we had a pact
In my dried blood he showed me a letter
I guess I loved you bad
Ain't it funny how a butterfly wing
Becomes a heart attack?
Ain't it funny how the sound of the dishes
Can be batter and clash?
But the well, oh well
Yeah the well we return to is full of that
Drug that gives us a flicker of life
Not the cat in a bag
It makes no sense, but who said sense
Was ever really where it's at?
The devil dropped by showed me a letter
Guess I loved you bad
I loved you bad
Yeah I loved you bad
I loved you bad

They took you out
The veil appeared
On the gurney to the van
Then you disappeared
And though you drove off
So far from here
You're ever present
You're always near

Ganaji, ganaji
Yirra marnkurdu
Ngarranmarri bularda
Ngayu bayiyarramarna
Ganaji, ganaji
Yirra marnkurdu
Ngarranmarri bularda
Ngayu bayiyarramarna

Now you see, now you see, now you see
Now you see what you really don't
Now you stand in a crowded room
And know you're all alone
And that's not bad, that's just true
It's what you always knew
That's not bad, but how far down
Do you really dare to look?
I invited him inside for a cuppa
Man, we had a good laugh
Told him he looked like Antonio Banderas
He just smiled and tipped his hat
When I read it later that night
My whole world damn near crashed
The devil dropped by showed me a letter
Guess I loved you bad
I loved you bad
Yeah I loved you bad
I loved you bad

And all I want
Is for the walls to fall
And crash around me
In the dust and squall
Into the night sky
Shooting blaze
Through the night
And all the way

Ganaji, ganaji
Yirra marnkurdu
Ngarranmarri bularda
Ngayu bayiyarramarna
Ganaji, ganaji
Yirra marnkurdu
Ngarranmarri bularda
Ngayu bayiyarramarna

I loved you bad
I loved you bad
Yeah I loved you bad
I loved you bad
Yeah I loved you bad
I loved you bad
