lyrics

The devil I know calls me up on the phone
And asks me if its sad to be alone
The angels upstairs have the radio too loud
I’d ask them to turn it down but I’m to proud
And the landlord wants rent
But its already been spent
So he took all the locks off my doors
And my neighbors cannot speak
Where’s that earth promised the meek
Its outside down two flights and two floors

And I have to believe what I want to believe
Or all of my dreams will come true
And I try hard to lie
About the bed that I’ve made
‘Cause the worst that I can do is to come to

The devil I know does his laundry at night
Cause he’s shy and just a little uptight
The angels I know
Live up on the third floor
And there’s no way to get up there anymore
And the landlord in the sky
Claps his hands while he cries
‘cause sadness is beautiful too
All my neighbors moved away
I don’t know what I can say
And there’s only one thing left I can do

And I have to believe what I want to believe
Or all of my dreams will come true
And I try hard to lie
About the bed that I’ve made
‘Cause the worst that I can do is to come to
