The first of two country songs on this album, “Silver-tongued Devil” deals with a friend of the narrator. He’s a smooth-talking, small town loser who still reserves delusions of grandeur, despite never challenging himself to exit from his idiosyncratic existence. Many people are fooled by his clever...
[Verse 1]
She don't like him talkin' to blondes
Girls in town ain't used to men like John
Another waitress sets him up for free
Ain't that good lookin but he sure knows what to say
[Chorus]
Yeah, he's got a voice like a tuxedo
And pink champagne
When he speaks his heart it sounds so lonely
Like a leavin' train
Yeah, he's got a voice like a tuxedo
And pink champagne
When he speaks his heart it sounds so lonely
You're one silver-tongued devil
[Verse 2]
Next door neighbors since we were nine
This old mill town is in a sharp decline
Talks about leaving almost every day
It's the end of the season and there's no reason to stay
[Chorus]
Yeah, he's got a voice like a tuxedo
And pink champagne
When he speaks his heart it sounds so lonely
Like a leavin' train
Yeah, he's got a voice like a tuxedo
And pink champagne
When he speaks his heart it sounds so lonely
You're one silver-tongued devil
[Bridge]
Sometimes he'd talk about a fantasy
To go off and become a famous guy
But his girlfriend went and had the baby
And how it would break his heart
Now to leave them behind
[Chorus]
Yeah, he's got a voice like a tuxedo
And pink champagne
When he speaks his heart it sounds so lonely
Like a leavin' train
Yeah, he's got a voice like a tuxedo
And pink champagne
When he speaks his heart it sounds so lonely
You're one silver-tongued
You're one silver-tongued
You're one silver-tongued devil
