Praise heaven babe, it's still alive
A good man's just a great disguise
Look down deep in his eyes you'll see
And your friends who say I'm bad
Why don't you tell them all you've been had?
Why don't you tell them what I am is what they see?
'Cause I'm ready to be,
The devil they've been seeing in me
Look closer it's still alight
That ain't a twinkle that you see at night
Ask me again if I think they're right, you'll see
'Cause I'm ready to be,
The devil they've been seeing in me
Whatever they've been seeing, I know him
He lives between the moments,
When I'm an angel in silence
He's climbing over the railway fence
Trying to dispose of the evidence
Trying to compose it so it all makes sense
Trying to get ready to be, ready to be
A good man's just a great disguise
Look down deep in his eyes you'll see
And your friends who say I'm bad
Why don't you tell them all you've been had?
Why don't you tell them what I am is what they see?
'Cause I'm ready to be,
The devil they've been seeing in me
Look closer it's still alight
That ain't a twinkle that you see at night
Ask me again if I think they're right, you'll see
'Cause I'm ready to be,
The devil they've been seeing in me
Whatever they've been seeing, I know him
He lives between the moments,
When I'm an angel in silence
He's climbing over the railway fence
Trying to dispose of the evidence
Trying to compose it so it all makes sense
Trying to get ready to be, ready to be
