When the Devil's Loose Lyrics

Up with the evening sun the river rolls on by
The neighbours they tell secrets
The neighbours they tell lies
And somewhere the plane went down
These things they never stop
Somebody feels the knife
And somebody calls the cops
O the living and the dying, how easily you bruise
O dear you don't go round when the devil's loose.

A figure waits in the shadow
Someone drowned in the lake
The march of Giorgian feet down the highway
And razorblades in the cake
These dogs will tear your flesh
You best give them a bone
I see you there and I see your faces
I see you there alone
And the living and the dying, how easily you bruise
O dear you don't go round when the devil's loose.

And what does the mirror show you
Can you see the break
Your sadness it is quite lovely
But it's the sadness of a slave
Why don't you give yourself a rest
O give yourself some room
You can't get your arms round everybody
You cannot carry the doom
Of the living and the dying, how easily you bruise
O dear you don't go round when the devil's loose.
