The Devil Keeps Grinnin' Lyrics
Ooo hoo, it’s the fun of your life
Bottle keeps spinnin’ spinnin
Devil keeps grinnin’ grinnin’, thinkin’ bout a war he’s winnin’
And ooo hoo, everybody is a star
Every star is the sun
Every sun is in the shadow of the father now
And ooo hoo, it the fun of your life
the bottle keeps spinnin’ spinnin’
the devil keep grinnin’ grinnin’, thinkin’ bout a war he’s winnin’
And ooo hoo, everybody is a star
This is the first, I feel you boy
Roll, roll, rollin’ that rock all day
No one lends a hand along the way
They just smile and say;
“See you soon, see you soon, see you soon.”
I’ll see you when the war is over
See you when this gravity stops pullin’ me around
When I get my feet up off the ground,
Finally lay this burden down, I’ll come runnin’
And ooo hoo, it’s the fun of your life
Bottle keeps spinnin’ spinnin
Devil keeps grinnin’ grinnin’, thinkin’ bout all my sinnin’
And ooo hoo, everybody is a star
Every star is the sun
Every sun is in the shadow of the father now
But you, oh you…
Never be lonely
Never blue
Oooo…
Never be lonely
Never blue
This poetry in sickness like this- beautiful and cruel
That’s just the way it is
And I can sleep but I can’t rest
They say that your songs are the best
And I am still a young man
Ooo hoo, it’s the fun of your life
Bottle keeps spinnin’ spinnin
Devil keeps grinnin’ grinnin’, thinkin’ bout a war he’s winnin’
And ooo hoo everybody is a star
Everybody is a star
Ooo hoo, it’s the fun of your life
Do do do…Da da da…
Bottle keeps spinnin’ spinnin
Devil keeps grinnin’ grinnin’, thinkin’ bout a war he’s winnin’
And ooo hoo, everybody is a star
Every star is the sun
Every sun is in the shadow of the father now
And ooo hoo, it the fun of your life
the bottle keeps spinnin’ spinnin’
the devil keep grinnin’ grinnin’, thinkin’ bout a war he’s winnin’
And ooo hoo, everybody is a star
Roll, roll, rollin’ that rock all day
No one lends a hand along the way
They just smile and say;
“See you soon, see you soon, see you soon.”
I’ll see you when the war is over
See you when this gravity stops pullin’ me around
When I get my feet up off the ground,
Finally lay this burden down, I’ll come runnin’
Bottle keeps spinnin’ spinnin
Devil keeps grinnin’ grinnin’, thinkin’ bout all my sinnin’
And ooo hoo, everybody is a star
Every star is the sun
Every sun is in the shadow of the father now
Never be lonely
Never blue
Oooo…
Never be lonely
Never blue
This poetry in sickness like this- beautiful and cruel
That’s just the way it is
And I can sleep but I can’t rest
They say that your songs are the best
And I am still a young man
Bottle keeps spinnin’ spinnin
Devil keeps grinnin’ grinnin’, thinkin’ bout a war he’s winnin’
And ooo hoo everybody is a star
Everybody is a star
Do do do…Da da da…

Sisyphus I feel you boy Roll roll rolling that rock all day No one lends a hand along the way They just smile and say "See you soon, see you soon, see you soon See you when the war is over See you when this gravity stops pulling me around When I get my feet up off the ground Finally lay this burden down I'll come running"

Ooh ooh it's a funny old life Bottle keeps spinning spinning Devil keeps grinning grinning Thinking about a war he's winning Ooh ooh everybody is a star Everybody is a star . . . look it up.
everything in this song is pretty much straightfoward in its meaning, except i think, the part about Sisyphus. if your wondering, he is a greek mythology guy. according to ledgend he chained the god of death, Thanatos, so dead people couldnt reach the underworld. Hades intervened and Sisyphus was severely punished. for all eternity he was forced to roll a block of stone against a steep hill, which just tumbled back down when he reached the top. then the whole process would just keep repeating, lasting all eternity.
hope that helps.
