Lyrics: Devil Boy

I slept through Easter yesterday
Right through Christmas just the same
The priest came up to me all up in arms
He said: "Devil boy, what have you done?"

Hey devil boy
We're gonna blow you're house in
Hey devil boy
What do you think of that?

For heaven's sakes
It's only been 2000 years
I can't wait any longer for you

The Jesuits rolled in their tanks to my front door
While the Capuchins held a love-in on my front porch
The Augustinians kept to themselves, stuck their tongues out in a row
They said, "Devil boy, it's off to hell you go!"

Hey devil boy
We're gonna blow you're house in
Hey devil boy
What do you think of that?

For heaven's sakes
It's only been 2000 years
I can't wait any longer for you

Ans so I'll sit and pray for her to call me there
And I'll burn that bridge a 1000 times, on the cross I bear
Just to wonder if you're listening from a soap box in the sky
To finally realize my price, was it you or I?

Hey devil boy
We're gonna blow you're house in
Hey devil boy
What do you think of that?

For heaven's sakes
It's only been 2000 years
I can't wait any longer for you

For heaven's sakes
I'd give away eternity
If you would come back to me, if you would come back to me
If you would come back to me, if you would come back to me
My My"My my stomach hurts again tonite" she says
Crashes on her floor
Cuts what she can't untie
Ties it to a door
And if mercy was a cattle call
She didn't hear
She didn't want to play the role of the fool again
Won't be fooled again

Indifference... as my witness
And I think she'd take me back
She tears down my front door just to... see my photograph

"My my head is getting so confused" she says
What's she trying to do to me?
Put my sticker on her car
Bought a CD
If mercy was a cattle call
She didn't hear
She didn't want to play the role of the fool again
Won't be fooled again

Indifference... as my witness
And I think she'd take me back
She tears down my front door just to... hear my phonograph

It spins...
"I ain't too proud to beg sweet darlin
Don't you leave my baby don't you go
I ain't too proud to beg sweet darlin
Don't you leave me"

"My my skin can't take much more of this" she says
You're scaling over me
Every time I wash it off, I find you underneath
And if mercy was a cattle call
She didn't hear...
She didn't want to play the role of the fool again
Won't be fooled again...
